The building is showing it's wear and age, but the room was decent. You could tell the room had been renovated. Price and location worked for us.

Nice staff, pleasant stay. Older aging building.

The staff was very friendly and courteous. The building is older and more of a beach house type place. It is showing some serious signs of age and could use some TLC.

Should have went to La Villa up the road

Unexpectedly fees of 100$ deposit which I never received back.. nothing in the room is worth 100$.. uneven lumpy floors.. stopped up shower drain.. tv did not work.. ac barely running.. gross pillows. Horrible stench I’m out clothes after 11 hours here.. stay was unbearable.. will update if I get my deposit back but I’m highly doubtful

Property has changed ownership and new owners were busy making upgrades. Still some work to be done, but think it should be 5-star in a little while.

Worst EVER!!!!

We walked into the hotel, which felt like an "rent by the hour" hotel. Hotel smelled. Walked into room and flipped on the main light switch by the door, didn't work. Had to hunt for another light. Sheets were stained on one of the beds. Room had a "mildew" smell and the humidity was horrible. TV remote did not work. The TV was stuck on ROKU and could not get the cable box to work. The blankets on the bed are basically tissue paper. We were in the room for about 30 and just decided to leave. It was already late and I did not feel like confronting the staff there. Tell you what....STAY AWAY! RUN! Stay somewhere else! HOTELS.COM should take this hotel off their platform.

Keep the price in mind!

We were a little skeptical when we first arrived, but it was decent inside. The motel had a clean smell throughout and the staff greeted us right away. This was the first hotel that we have stayed where we received an actual key, versus a key card, but it seems they are in the middle of some renovations. The room was clean and spacious, included a fridge, microwave, 32" TV, and free Wi-Fi. As long as your not expecting a 5 star hotel for $70 a night, you should be perfectly happy with your stay at this motel. Especially being 20 minutes from Six Flags!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
When checking in, there was no one at the front desk. We had to call reception. The booking info said we would pay when we checked in, but we were charged before we got to the motel. Then when we did check in, they charged another $50 deposit, which was not mentioned in the booking info. My party had two rooms - one was clean, with vinyl floors, and smelled like a fresh cleaning solution. The other had carpet which seemed to hold in the smell of many cleanings and smoking and cleaning and smoking. The air smelled stale.

Old and outdated. Only the minimum amount of upkeep. Had cable, yet the bare minimum of the channels were enabled. A/C worked but if you change a setting it would stop.
