The room we got looks like it hasn’t been occupied in a long time and never been cleaned again since. Corners are dirty, carpet is dusty and has a musty smell.

Older motel that isn’t cared for. No house keeping! When I asked about the room not being cleaned, was told “we don’t do that anymore more.” Breakfast was bad in every way. Skip it .Nothing good to say.

We had a good night's rest and the staff were pleasant. The curtains were too long and covered up the AC unit. There was a floor tile missing in the bathroom.

Property on the water was great to see the fireworks show for the 4th of July. Breakfast was in another building up the stairs, and it had poor air conditioning. Apart from that all was good.

The water temperature in the shower rotated between freezing cold and scalding hot. It could not be regulated. The sink faucet was very hard to turn off. The room definitely needs updated, if not, then a good cleaning.

The instant I walked into the room I was disappointed. I was overwhelmed by a musty smell. It was obvious that the cleaning that had been done is bare minimum. It was very grimy. The pool was very hazy as well. There was continental breakfast but we had to go next door to another hotel to get it.

Definitely not the lap of luxury. And room and bathroom were clean as far as I could tell. Just needed a place to rest my head and it fit the bill. Still too expensive for the amenities offered.

Property needs maintenance. Carpets in room and hallways needed cleaning.
