Once we arrived, the room we had reserved was not clean. However, MARIA jumped right in and had it ready while we got a bite to eat. The room was clean and all i really saw was a need to be painted and bathtub didn't drain very well. Great place to stay with my dog. Has good area to walk and a small pin w/ shelter so one can sit at the picnic table on a sunny day and watch their dog play. For the price, we'll return.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I changed rooms three times. First room had mold on the walls. Second room had critters and no hot water or phone; no suitcase rack. A place for hangers but no hangers. Third room had critters too. And later find we had no phone. It had a suitcase rack. No place for hangers and no door hooks for robes or towels. The refridgerator worked great on the highest setting. The cold breakfast was not surprising at all. I saw no cream cheese for the offered bagels. You have to use a key to get into the cateria. There was nothing HOT about breakfast other than some microwaveable oatmeal and instant grits ot some toast. The guest laundry room was unavailable.That's a two hour slot for $7. Why wasn't there any cable? I like the easy accessible to my car, the area for my dog to walk.

Fair price for a three star room.

About what we expected. A fair price and a fair room. Needs some attention, though. Bathroom door would not shut all the way. Night stand drawer was barely hanging on. Could have used some dresser drawers to put stuff into. None in room. Fridge and microwave were fine. AC and bed were great. We will probably stay here again.

night staff was awesome, day staff was rude. we only had 2 towels in our room and none in a second room we rented. asked for more towels and i had to bring towels in and was looked at weird when i told them we only had two. And then I only got handed 4 towels for 7 people? cause that is all they had till housekeeping came in at 10.... mind you, we had to be checked out by 11. I would actually not stay there again. They advertised free breakfast... both online and on their sign..... they stopped that apparently years ago. and this was one of my reasons for choosing this motel. So..... 60.00 later we got breakfast.... not worth the money.

Not as advertised

We arrived at 7:45 pm with the expectation of hopping into the pool after a long car ride only to find out the pool had closed 10 minutes prior! It's summer vacation!!! Then in the morning we got up early enough to get the hot breakfast advertised only to be told they no longer offer it because it costs them money and business hasn't been good. The toilet was slow and noisy. However, the room was very clean and had a great mini fridge but no coffee maker. It also sported an actual Roku TV which was amazing.
