The whole motel very dated. In need of TLC and a lick of paint, inside and outside. Pools and area doesn't feel clean. Change to better pillows. Location great. Staff friendly.

This motel has all you need to cook basic meals. The rooms are very quiet and the beds are comfortable. The motel is a bit dated and could use a refresh but is very decent for the price.

The room we had was pretty dark, and right outside the spa pool so when people started using it it woke you up. The bed felt similar to a camp bed but was okay for a larger person to sleep on so can't complain too much. Shower didn't have good pressure, but there was one at least! For the price we paid, it did the job!

4/10 Fair
Pools looked great on pictures but were very uninviting and unattractive in reality.
Bathroom door was unlockable, beds were uncomfortable where you could feel every little spring. It was not possible to block block sunlight in one of the rooms when sleeping.
