I was good. The rooms were very large and extremely clean. The only thing I was disappointed that the pool was not open. Still had work to be done. I think it would be nice for Expedia to update things like this. Otherwise I would’ve stayed somewhere with a pool being that it was so so hot
Property very well maintained

Its a decent motel, a bit pricey for what you receive. They need to dust and clean the vents and baseboards better. Our screen on the sliding glass door was ripped wide open. Not many options for breakfast, waffles, apples & bananas. Would have been nice to have cereal or a bagel nothing fancy. They seemed to be renovation but the outside need more attention.
