I fully expected the conditions of this hotel to be lower quality. However, compared to the other much more expensive hotels in the area, I would say this was my favorite. It was very clean and quiet. The staff was very friendly! This will be my go to from now on

The bathroom was discussing, Mildew around the sink and tub. Wall plaster badly cracked No pug for the bathtub. Plastic mattress cover making it noisy and sweaty. Did like that it was across from the hot pools. Front staff wasn't very attentive, felt like I was intruding on his space.

The cost of this motel a night, there was no excuse to a tub unusable due to its cleanliness conditions (looks like it was painted then peeling and edges covered in dirt) and giant holes in the wall that have been patched but never repainted. Room 116.
