We stayed for 4 days and the pool was unusable for the duration. There was a disgusting film on top, sand and debris at the bottom and a greenish hue to the water. Not what you expect when booking a motel with a pool.

Nice place- reduce the texts!

Nice place, clean, great location to walk to all local attractions. Enjoyed our quick get away EXCEPT for receiving too many texts with the same information. 4 texts informing me about pet fee and I did not have a pet. 3 texts beginning around 8:00 am that my checkout time was 11am and I had really hoped to sleep late. We are new parents and had 24 hours to rest without kids and the text messages constantly coming in was truly a nuisance. It interrupted my rest (I can’t turn off notifications when leaving 2 small children with grandparents) it kept me checking my phone when I just wanted to relax. Texts about pets, checking in, times, checking out, etc. multiple texts reminding me of quiet hours when I needed into be quiet. please- I can honestly say - I’m not sure I would stay again even though it’s a nice place. I really needed to not have 3-5 texts about the same thing for hours.

Standard room with queen bed. Small size. Would definitely not recommend the standard room. Room was clean. Parking is a problem. Our room has no assigned space. Came home from dinner and no parking was available. The motel rents their parking lot out to a Mexican restaurant which is unacceptable. Paid almost $500 for 2 bites and no parking available. Unacceptable. Good location but would not stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff were unpleasant over the phone and claimed we were there multiple nights already when we called, when we only had just checked in. The room as so small and full of furniture you couldn’t even walk past the dresser and bed, it was a horrible set up. Many unleashed dogs were at the property as well creating a huge issue for those with dogs leashed. We wanted to call, but didn’t due to the woman on the phone being so rude the first time. Hallway entry door has an interior lock on it, which was also concerning about possibly being locked out. Hallways smelled like weed as well. Parking was horrific at the motel specifically. I do not recommend this motel.

My only issue was the number of texts i got the day we left for our trip. It asked me to sign saying i read the rules of the motel. It also said we could not park until 4pm the day we arrived. These are things that should be disclosed and requested way before i leave for my trip. I found it very inconvenient to not be able to park until 4pm that day. The texts also said you had to pay a pet fee. none of that was disclosed on the hotels.com.website. luckily my dad was able to keep our dogs at his house.
