For a nonsmoking property, there were a lot of smokers outside the guest rooms, making everything in the motel smell like cigarettes. There were a bunch of kids just hanging out on the sidewalk and outside guest rooms day and night. Pool was closed for maintenance.

The inn was okay for the price. Room was clean. The rug was stained from lots of use and needs good cleaning. Bathroom was brand new. Excellent condition. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable.

The place was surprisingly comfortable - a decommissioned Days Inn. We were perfectly content there. The pool was green with algae, however, and things were somewhat run down. And on checkout they used a small, easily treatable stain on one sheet to justify a 50 dollar charge. The facility is comfortable but keep. your eyes open and maybe don't swim.

Remote wouldn’t work, air conditioner was old and had broken slats, pool said it was heated but water was cold and didn’t seem like the jets in the pool were even on to circulate the water

The most recent Google reviews made me skeptical about booking but the king room overlooking the pool was clean aside from a couple cigarette burns in the comforter no weird smells and the bathrooms where nice aside from the tub almost feeling greased when showering a grab bar or traction pads would be a nice addition

Great location
Great location and the room was clean and well stocked. Door jam looked like it was kicked in and replaced leaving a gap to the outside so it was very noisy for most of the night (Sat). The bed was extra firm and too hard for my taste.

I felt the room we stayed in was just okay. The bed was comfortable and the bedding was clean and fresh. The water was hot and the pressure was good. The towels were white and fairly new. However, the rug was very dirty, the toilet was loose, and the walls were scratched up and in need of paint. The balcony area and stairs were not kept up well. Lots of cigarette butts. The dining area was not satisfactory. The area was not air conditioned, the food was limited (the staff said they were in short supply), the windows and the glass on the doors were filthy. The young man working was on his phone and did not seem to see that a little effort on his part could have greatly improved the situation. We did not swim, but the pool looked fine. The kids swimming seemed to be enjoying it. This place could have been much better than it was. It is too bad.

Three nite stay, room was fine and bed was comfortable. Don't count on having the Continental breakfast because they ran out of food first day there and didn't seem to worry about replenishing. Staff could've cared less sadly!
