Something has changed at this location where it does not feel safe. There are some sketchy activities going on in the back area of the motel with people coming in after hours at night and hanging out in the stair wells. Also more domestics and door slamming.

The staff was courteous. Complimentary breakfast was very good. Pool area looked very nice. The room was run down, smelled musty, and there was visible grime in the bathroom floor corners. Overall would rather avoid this hotel until they renovate the rooms.

Great overall experience. The only negative was the unruly children running through the halls and being obnoxious. I don't blame the facility or staff for this, but it would have been nice to see them talking to parents and redirecting the atrocious behaviors.

No towels (ever), run down, old, no service except front desk, exercise equipment run down with no cleaning supplies and hot. The pool was great for our 7 year-old, thank goodness for the slide. However, the management needs to be fired…the pool guy looked like a thug (why didn’t he have a uniform…just looked like some creepy dude pouring chemicals in the pool and brought 8 pool towels (when there were 9 people at the pool. I think people just came in and used the pool but didn’t stay. Also, we had police in the foyer arresting people on both days we stayed!
