Big, clean, and comfortable

This little hotel was a bit older, but the beds were very comfortable. We got the room with two double beds, it was very bug and had air-conditioning. TV was in a weird spot, but ot worked. We were in an older room, it didnt smell, and a kitchenette stocked with pots, pans, plates, bowls, glasses, mugs, and cutlery. The fride was also very cold. Overall it was an older room but we appreciated the beds and air conditioning. We were unsure if the room had air conditioning because it wasnt listed on the hotel's page.

This property is under going a renovation and it shows. Our bar fridge didn’t work and flooded the floor. They have a great espresso machine in the lobby if you like lattes or cappuccinos. The pool area is beautiful and the motel isn’t horrible. I’m sure when it’s done it’ll be beautiful.

This is an older property in need of updating but has been painted. It was very clean, and staff very friendly. There is a great relaxing pool area, and the parking area is well lit. There is a small coffee area and the coffee is fine and water good.

Lacking cleanliness

Bathroom needed toilet cleaning and seat repair. Bathroom didn’t feel sanitary at all. Room could use a deep clean sheers had red splatter/stains. Room could use a refresh.

Could be pretty awesome. Rooms are way overdue for an update. Beds aren’t good, but once once you’re in they were fine as long as you don’t move. In fairness, we were only there for 6 hours, but did find it weird that they are only there from 8am on. GREAT coffee machine!
