Nice place to stay if going to the park. The front desk staff is very nice and helpful. Pool water was clear and warm. Have stayed there twice and will be going back again in a couple weeks. It is a dated hotel but clean and perfect for what we need.

The exterior of the facility was poor-overgrown grass, cracked concrete in the parking lot. But the room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The pool was also in working order. This motel has great potential.

Sketchy Dated but nice staff
This hotel is dated and would have been amazing in the 80s. The desk staff was friendly but the place has a rundown grimy feel. The pool was dirty but could have been fine with a good skimmer and run the filter. The sketchy part was some of the people staying here.

Very good budget hotel
If you go in with high expectations, this is not the hotel for you. We were perfectly content with it however. Our towel rack was broken and one of our sink drains was stuck in the down position, but we had 2 sinks so we used the other one, no big deal. It smelled clean, the beds were comfortable and the shower had good pressure and hot water. This is all we need when booking a room. The best part is that it was nearly half the price of all the franchise hotels in the area. I’d recommend this place to everyone.

The staff were very kind. The room had what it needed and was clean and kempt. It was old and had a smell like ammonia/cat pee which I think speaks to its age. That made it a bit hard to breathe in the room, otherwise it worked as a good cheap place to sleep in and go.

This place was perfect for the price we paid. The staff was incredibly friendly. The place needs some upgrades as it is very dated, but it was clean enough and you can tell the staff try their best to keep it looking great. It has a beautiful courtyard and a decent looking pool. If this place gets some updates and renovations, it will easily be a top tier hotel.

Do not stay.
Terrible! We booked a king room 2 WEEKS before check in. Got there and checked in and got put in a double bed. Then got moved to a king bed with no tv, it was for “someone who just wanted to sleep” and then we found a clear tube under our sheets and our toilet was backed up and was full of crap. Literally. So they moved up back to the double bed and still found stuff under the beds!
