Pros +

  • Availability
  • This is more like a motel and is very unkept and dirty. Breakfast included stale biscuits that were hard like rock. My appetite was ruined. Room was dirty and entire facility is old. A lot of sketchy activities going on at night. I felt very unsafe.
  • Parking lot was empty

Cons -

  • Cleanliness. Old outdated furniture.
  • vacation was ruined. After I checked in for 7 nights. Within 16 hours motel owner called the room and told me that he is rekeying the room keys and moving us to the room next to the front desk. As a single woman traveling with a child I felt very unsafe.
  • So filthy, left immediately feeling need to shower with out refund

The nice pool. The microwave and large fridge, the price for 2 beds. Friendly staff. Other visitors were friendly. Places to sit outside.
Pool needed the water skimmed. A little mold in the bathroom, bathroom needs remodeled but was nicer than some other hotels I have stayed at. But mold is a natural occurrence in a small wet drywalled space.
