Great stay

Great stay but there was a strange humidity in the room, making the floor extremely slipping upon entering and I almost busted my butt twice. Even the carpet felt wet. Other than that, clean and great view.

Noah, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was ok and a basic motel. That area has a lot of places like this. The room had no closet, which I havent seen before. The room was clean, the staff was friendly. We didn't have the breakfast, but it wasn't what we wanted. The pool was closed but it is still early for that now.

10/10 Exceptional

It was nice. The breakfast was good. However, our bathroom sink was clogged when we arrived. We managed though. Also, they are renovating the second floor and it was not closed off to guests. But the staff was friendly and the bed was comfy and they had toiletries in the rooms to include makeup wipes. So thoughtful. I would stay again.
