Rooms were semi-clean. Seemed like attendants were hovering at breakfast, though interaction was good. Pancakes machine wasn't working correctly...rest of food was a fair. Indoor pool was closed, mechanical issues. If I would have known what I know now, we would have tried a different motel for the price.
3 things I did like...3/8 thick shower doors, a large smart tv and quick (Paypal) check in.

I wouldn’t recommend staying here the manager is never on duty and isn’t trustworthy. I had to check out early due to family issues at home. I was told I would be refunded and they won’t refund me now. We tried to get ahold of the manager for three weeks but there’s no manager on duty to help with your refund.
