This property is run down, people lived in the room next door, the comforters had holes in them, staff had my husband paid even though we paid on Expedia and made us pay more than it was on Expedia I wasn't there at check in so he paid. It took over two hours to get a refund from Expedia. The front desk guy had no idea what he was doing and wasn't helpful in any way. We were supposed to get a river front room with patio but that isn't what we got and they refused to help. It is a truly run down awful place it seemed like everyone checking in had major issues Do not stay here

From the pictures I saw on Travelocity I was led to believe it was a country quaint with a river view. What we got was a DIY project with the view of the neighbors backyard junkyard. The kid that checked us in was very friendly and I will give them an A for cleanliness and friendliness. But they have a long way to go.

Upon arrival I was greeted by the staff and was told about activities near by and restaurant that he requested! Told where my room was and the drink machine and ice machine. Got into our room and the smell of Mary-Jane hit us in the face. Rooms were clean and bathroom as well. Drink machine was out of order. We expected a swimming pool but upon arrival found out they didn’t have one due to the hurricane. Which is understandable. But definitely should write that on the about part for temporary issues or something. Anytime we needed towels or anything for the room the office staff made sure to accommodate. We overall enjoyed our stay.

The location is excellent. On the river, my room opened to the patio with picnic tables and rocking chairs. The front had rocking chairs to sit back and enjoy the scenery. The room was good, but the plumbing needs a little work.

Staff made us feel like family. Lovely older motel situated on the banks of a river. This gave us an opportunity to relax and enjoy the rocking chairs outside our room overlooking the river. Beds were comfortable. It wasn’t fancy, but it was clean, quiet, and a good value. Will stay there again when in the area.

Disliked: Amenities
Im the queen of cheap hotels- i paid roughly 70 dollars for the biggest dump. I will say the young mixed gentlemen at the front desk was very very nice and helpful. But the pictures show a pool- its absolutely disgusting and not accessible. The doors have markings on them like someone tried to break in. The lock on my backdoor in my unit didnt work. Smelt like cigs. Ive been waiting to hear back for a refund because i told them i just couldnt stay there. I tried being the bigger person and just not writing a review but ive reached out several times for refund and no one gets back to me. 70 dollars down the drain to this dump
