This place is a hidden gem. Don’t let the word motel scare you. It’s not fancy but it was clean, well lit, and the pool was sparkling clean. Great for 2 nights of fun in GOTL.

Good for the price

Room was clean, for the most part. Shower curtain wasn’t long enough so water poured out of the bottom all over the floor even into the room. A bit outdated but staff was friendly & check in was convenient with a text for key code since we were a late check in

The property was very clean. The pool was nice and warm. It is close to the strip so easy to walk to plus close to a few restaurants. The staff were very friendly. The only down side is that there was only one extra parking spot for as many rooms. Unfortunately a truck took up several spaces. But there was road parking not far from the parking lot. Also I noticed how many people came from the location across the street to use the pool. But if you don't mind old motel vibes this place is great.

We had a few hiccups during our stay. We lost power on day two apparently a tripped breaker, and our travel companions in another room had zero hot water until late on day two. The pool was a great amenity and helped ease the tension but could have used a good vacuuming. Communication between the staff was difficult as there was no one there after 5:00. Both are minor problems and were fixed. We refused to let all that dampen our spirits and will use again.
