I couldn't beat the price. We got rained out of our campsite and needed a quick place to stay. This fit the bill. Very clean, comfortable beds, nice property. The only reason I can't give it a 5 is because the noise level is a bit much due to thin walls. I would definitely recommend this place though.

We checked in rather late, but the young lady at the desk was very helpful. Her name was Dania, and even though I came back several times she was very customer friendly.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
They did not clean the room well before we arrived, I used a towel to dry my face after I washed and found little hairs from someone shaving in the towel so it was not cleaned well. When I took my first shower on day 1 we had hot water and the steam shown someone wrote god saves in the glass from when they took a shower so that tells me they did not clean the shower well before we arrived. Day 2 at night after a long day we went to shower and had no hot water in the shower for the remaining of the trip. Called front desk the next morning and the maintenance guy didn’t know how to fix it. We had to leave because we had an appointment so we could not shower before we went out for the day which was disgusting. When we got back later in the evening the shower still was not fixed I was told we can shower in an empty room next-door or move to another room which we were leaving the next morning so nobody wants to pack everything up to go move to another room for the night so we had a shower in an empty room next-door, which was creepy. Other guest did not pick up their dog poop and it was all over the grass. Terrible experience will not be staying here ever again.

While the rooms have been remodelled this motel is very old and the pictures on the website are very misleading. Lots of times there were no staff at the front desk. Breakfast was poor. The walls are thin and you can hear the TV and noises from the adjacent rooms. Wouldn’t book again
