The pictures they have of the rooms, pool & facilities on their website make this motel look good but in reality it’s nothing like that. The walls in the bathroom were disgusting, which I wiped down with disinfectant and towel. There was holes in the wall from where a smoke alarm may have been, the floors felt dirty, the pool area was over grown and the pool looked half empty. The whole place looked old, weathered and run down. I wouldn’t recommend staying at this place.
