Entire facility was very old and worn out, was dirty. The furniture was broken everything in my room at outlive this life long ago. The bedroom door shut OK but you couldn’t lock it. Striker for the deadbolt didn’t line up with the Plate. The sliding closet doors wouldn’t function. It was stuck in one position. The sign is falling off the bedroom door. Overall, a big disappointment and I would probably never go there again.

The town is super small and the rooms are clean but very outdated. It felt like camp 🏕️ which was what we were looking for. The pool and hot tub was amazing! I wish the rooms were more updated but overall it was great!!!

The location was very central to high way and food choices. The restaurant attached to it was great. Sadly, during my stay some of the other guests were rather loud and it lead to bad sleep. Good rate.

Affordability and location were key in our choice to stay here. Room was out dated, firm simple beds, musty carpet, very spacious. Pool area has loads of rules, mold was present along the pool edging and the walls, the ceiling leaks into the pool itself, and the attendant watches the area intensely. With some updating, it would be a nice spot!

The property is extremely outdated. The Keycard holder itself was torn and ripped upon checking in. That’s when I assumed the worst and what I assumed checked out. No blankets on the beds, no full bath towels, the shower had pubic or beard hair one of the two or both littered around the shower. I left at 7am and once I got home immediately showered assuming I probably had some sort of bugs within my clothing.

I didnt mind the property itself, i didnt however like the dim lighting in the room, also it was odd how we were the only ones on the one side of the building until late Saturday evening. I dont believe they have housekeeping unless you request it. Breakfast is in the front office entrance area with very little space to move around, maybe a room on the side would be better for the breakfast area. Staff in the office was nice and polite.

Hello Tammy, we will take your comments into consideration and make those changes. Our breakfast is served in the main lobby but there is a much bigger seating area in the restaurant side, through the lobby right door. We are sorry staff did not inform you of this. Thank you for your feedback.

When I went to my room there was a couple smoking crack in their car in front of my room which was a suite! Pubic hair in sink, queen bed was actually two twins put together and were unsafe as anyone got off bed would flip you/bed would flip to it’s side super unsafe! Urinal cake under beds, messed up my reservation which I made for the pool was the whole reason I went there and I had to end up paying extra money just to bring my kids swimming. Won’t be back! I made a reservation for the sole purpose of the pool which I tried a couple years earlier during Covid and had issues then with them not giving out the right information. Last time me and my family weren’t able to even swim this time ended up charging me $40 extra dollar to swim when my reservation has me and my children down plus I called and spoke to them the day prior to check in to MAKE SURE ID BE ABLE TO SWIM AS WELL AS MY KIDS. We’ll we swam but ending up costing me extra many. Also booked the suite and had. Anurinal cake under my bed, supposed to be a queen bed but was bigger I noticed and realized they just pushed to twin beds together and thru a sheet on it which was unsafe as getting out of bed the beds flipped on me plus pubic hair in the bathroom sink when I checked in. 1/5 stars don’t get me started on the horrible free breakfast and the owner is very rude and controlling their children are absolutely a nightmare- curse, fight and disrespectful to customers. I’ve tried to do this at this hotel a couple time

Hello Nikyta, we apologize for the unpleasant experience of your stay. However, in your expedia reservation only 2 adult guest were registered in the room, therefore the Pool & Spa charged a fee for extra guest who were not registered. This information could have been updated at checkin to prevent extra charges. The owner does not reside near the property nor do they have children here, you would be mistaken. Thank you for your feedback.

No hot water, family pool was in poor condition and the 18 plus should be open to family when not doing laps. Room was so dirty that the smell made me leave after a very short few hours there. So dissatisfied in hopes my money will be refunded. Not a family atmospheric and no working vending machines in area.

Great stay
Great size room, plenty of space for 4 people to stay w fridge and microwave. Breakfast was a perfect quick self-serve. Sadly, the pool closes early so we didn't get to enjoy that which was part the reason we chose this Motel

It was a pleasant stay over all but we did have a weird encounter with the man working the pool room, gave off creepy vibes. A little noise at times due to our room being in the very end near the stairs and a group of pre teens running up and down them most of the their stay.
