Just sucked that we stayed for the week and the washer was broken and I think the treadmill was broken too in the gym but I could be wrong, we couldn’t get it to work. But other then that it was a great stay very convenient and the breakfast had many options and the older lady working the breakfast was the sweetest! Definitely would stay again

It's obviously an older style motel, that has been updated very well, especially the bathrooms. The rooms seemed quiet, the beds were comfortable and overall the complex is clean and well kept. Breakfast was good, not great, but better than most motels. We would stay again.

Check in great, lovely friendly & helpful lady. Room spacious, comfortable and fully equipped. Hot water & good shower. Nice breakfast with hot/cold choices. Seemed. Very clean. Only disappointment for me was pool closed but that was rules rather than something wrong. It did look a nice are though even though back of car park . Nice Mexican restaurant on site too. Looked like a lot of other food outlets and shops close by but I didn’t use. Would definitely stay again

The staff was exemplary and so helpful. We will return just for the southern hospitality, but also the room was spacious and updated nicely. The bed was so comfortable, and there were no restrictions on the television channels. It was a great stay!

We had to request a room change right away because the room we were assigned was full of flying insects. They were on the walls, in the shower and toilet and on the pillow cases and bed frame. There was no way we could stay there!
