Check in/out was a breeze. Very quiet (choose the 2nd floor). Beds are quite uncomfortable. Appears a lot of mobile construction workers use this accommodation. If coming back to the motel late, there are often people along the tree line in the back of the motel smoking.

I appreciated how clean the the room was. Even under a UV light, there was very little residue showing up. It was in places you would expect, but also that you'd expect to be cleaned better. Light switches, the TV remote and telephone. My biggest complaint is that there is no coffee maker in the room. Yes, there is coffee available 24/7 in the lobby of the office, but I'd much rather make my own coffee in my room (I bought a small coffee machine for just such an occasion}

We stayed at this motel end of July. When we got back to our home I noticed bites but thought they were mosquito bites.after a while I searched our luggage bags that we used for the weekend and found dead bed bugs. This is super upsetting

Another great stay. As usual there is always staff cleaning and taking care of the grounds. All so pleasant. Room and pool were clean as expected. Even though they allow pets, not once have I ever noticed any odors inside or out. Thanks again for a great stay. See you again next time!

Easy check in through this app. Room was outdated, small, barely any channels on the tv. Only thing they offered for breakfast was coffee. If you are just looking to sleep and take a shower this was the place.

Overall, the room was spacious, clean and didn't have any odors. The room had a TV but no signals for basic channels or cable. No shampoo was offered in the shower. The pillow was kind of flat. Otherwise, the stay was OK.

Poor quality

They need to hire more qualified maintenance workers. Installed a door on bathroom with a1” gap at top , does not fit properly. All the towel racks are installed crooked. Obviously can’t even eye it straight. Most repairs are done poorly. For the price of the room, they could do abetted job of fixing the problems.
