I booked a room at this place for 5 nights. The worst stays I've ever had not only was the service bad but there were ants in the kitchen on the table, the bedding was ripped and never changed. while I was there with my 2 kids, I couldn't vacuum after ourselves cause there was none in our room I paid a cleaning fee for nothing tried to get in touch with them about multiple things that needed fixing cause it was a safety hazard. Bins weren't empty for the last 2days we were there. Then when I got a hold of them on the phone they asked me if I was from work and income like what are you for real right now I booked this room is that why we didn't get our room cleaned or fix. The spa OUT OF ORDER The playground just two swings DO NOT USE The laundry is ALWAYS BEING USED The pool OUT OF ORDER NO RECEPTION PERSON THERE EVER

We tried to get into the motel with my reservation but no one came to open the motel office for any service. This was 11:30 pm on Sept.10 we had traveled 6hrs to get there. We are senior citizens and continued with our journey but stopped some time later and slept in the car which was very uncomfortable. Pathetic service for tourists.

Overnight stay prior to a hospital visit. Okay but a bit tired. Quite noisy at times.
