This is a MOTEL that has been painted and refurnished by Marriott. Also, they offer “free breakfast” but you only get 2 breakfasts per room. This is not a family friendly motel. Would not stay here again.

Our room had bedbugs, when we checked the beds upon arrival. We immediately got out of the room. I was told the manager would call the next day, nope. The same gentleman that was at the front desk the night before ended up being the one to call to say I would be getting a refund, and proceeded to state that we were mistaken and that they "bed bugs" were coffee grounds!!!!! How are there coffee grounds INSIDE a zipped up mattress cover? On BOTH sides of the bed? If there was an accident with "coffee grounds" why on both sides of the bed, and why would they be zipped up inside the cover? I was not going to write a negative review, because I understand people can bring them in, and it not be reflection on the hotel, however if I can see it with my eyes right off the bat entering the room, then there is piss poor cleaning happening. What sealed the deal was the manager not reaching out directly. We will not be returning.

NOT a 4 star so shame on whoever gave that star rating to them. I would not even say the amenities are 3 star. Outdoor entry motel - not hotel. Misleading there too. It’s like the old motor lodges which went away because no one liked them. Not great in any way. The check in is at the bar. Would not stay again…
