The stay was very accommodating, friendly, and happy. The motel was average, but appropriate for the price. It needs a good deep-cleaning, especially where the baseboard joins the floor. The pool was empty, and there was green, thick water in the hot tub.

This property (unknowingly) was under major renovation. construction was ongoing, our room (when assigned) was still dirty, unsecure and the window was broken, open & unable to close. We LEFT without staying, yet they still refused to refund our payment. Finally after MANY phone calls they refunded HALF of it.....pitiful.
