We liked the room…. But was VERY disappointed because as advertised when we booked there was a pool, we were not allowed to use it… False advertising!!! One of the main reason we booked this accommodation was because of the pool. We had a very upset boy those couple of days, as pool is privately owned!!!!

We booked this motel because it had a pool and it was extremely hot. We had trouble accessing the pool and when we rang to find out we were told pool access was only for guests staying in room #1. There was no shower curtain so floor got flooded and slippery. No face washers provided, no hand towel rail and carpets for stained. We paid $300 for 2 nights and wont be staying here again.
