Room was basic but we'll maintained. Staff were very helpful.
Newly renovated washroom and freshly painted walls. TV was nice and large. Cracks in the flooring, layer of dust on the linen. Bed was comfortable. Most alarming were the rats biting at the wall between the bedroom and the washroom at 5am. We were in room 22.
Room was dirty. Nothing appeared to be wiped down or cleaned well. Plastic Desk chairs were covered in some kind of stains which could have been easily wiped down and cleaned but wasnt.
Bed spreads, tops were covered in pubic hairs and could have been easily cleaned or changed if inspected but weren’t.
My biggest complaint was the cleaning. I cleaned it myself since I already prepaid.

A decent road side stay. The rooms have been updated but they feel worn and tired still. The restaurant is closed and the pool is also. It’s much better than when I stayed here a few years ago. But, it’s a stretch for the price compared to other hotel/motels near by.

Clean and spacious room in a roadside motel. Good amenities in the room. Beds are comfortable.
The rooms were renovated and clean. Nice bedding and pillows. I like the drive up to room option and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Checked in late and up early so I can’t comment on the rest of the property.
