Staff was very nice and helpful. My mother was traveling with me and they held doors for us. Room clean, bright with desk and comfortable. Pool looked lovely. We did not swim but others were enjoying. Location so convenient. Walked around town and farmers market.

Don't stay here
Elevator was broken. After second trip, the key finally worked....and bugs came running out of a tear in the carpet. I told the staff we wouldn't be staying. Only plus was that I was given a refund quickly when I contacted hotels.com

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was disgustingly filthy! Dirty sheets, blankets, pillows, pillow cases, orange table runners they had on the beds were stained up and filthy, lamps were dirty and dusty, shower curtain also dirty with something appearing to be dried blood, outside of the door was filthy, inside of the door looked like it had something sprayed all over the inside of it, beer, soda, urine who knows it was gross, chair was filthy and stained up and even had cuts in the fabric and tears, the electrical wall socket was covered in black dust a half an inch thick. I have NEVER seen anything so unkept at a motel, or anywhere for that matter. Microwave also dirty with duct tape to hold the door shut. Bed skirt also filthy and stained up, took a wipe across the top of the headboard attached to the wall and also had a heavy layer of black filth. Asked for a different room, it was also dirty. Oh yes and the smell. Horrible stench that nearly choked you walking in the door. Run down I can handle, which this place certainly was, but the nasty filth is inexcusable. Not to mention we found out on our last nights stay there had been someone murdered on the 4th floor the previous month. They did have breakfast if you could look past the gnats swarming and landing on all the food. The only thing positive I have to say about this place is that the pool was clean and the pool area was kept. I also was bitten by a spider during my stay. Please take this review serious. Choose another safer cleaner motel.

Diamond!
I booked our stay 20 minutes before we arrived. Some of the reviews concerned me, but we just needed a place to sleep after being in the car all day. My family was greeted by the kindest woman. The lobby was clean. Our double queen, non-smoking room was impeccable. It was updated, and smelled so clean. The beds were extremely comfortable. The room was quiet. My kiddos enjoyed the huge pool. I am so happy we stayed here!
