The beds are way too firm for me!! By Sunday morning, I had the worse stiff neck that I still have on Thursday!! The room was adequate, I have stayed at this property prior, when it was Motel 6. Just a you approach the bathroom, there is a hole in the concrete slab under the wood floor. Every time this area was stepped on, the wood floor would lift up! The property is good, just needs some TLC!

Not great but is fine if you’re really just looking for somewhere to sleep. Seemed like a safe enough area. Super outdated and things definitely don’t get cleaned very often. Saw the cleaners stripping beds in other rooms prior to my check out and all they clean on the beds is the sheet. Beds were decently comfortable. Most lightbulbs were either blown or the whole light flickered.

Place to sleep, don’t expect anything nice.

Bed and pillows were uncomfortable. Room was Ok, but bathroom light didn’t work unless you tapped on the bulb, blanket had cigarette holes in it, toilet was loose and sat weird in the floor.

dissapointed

One desk clerk was friendly the other was not. Pool was less than clear and was a total hassle to use. Tub was cracked open where your foot could slip inside. Light over mirror did not work, was fixed and quit again. Floor in room very spongy

Would stay again!

Overall my stay was fine. The rooms are a little dated but they were clean and comfortable with good cold AC. The staff was very accommodating. Special shout out to Beth as I had a bit of a situation and without hesitation she helped me to remedy it. Thank you Beth. Easy access as your able to pull up right in front of your room so you don't have to be touring luggage far.
