Amazing place; impressed! Clean room, beyond cute. Choices of restaurants with extensive outdoor seating. Kids water feature. Retail stores part of complex. However, a high crime rate area tho was never a problem for me.

It was a pretty cool little place. I wish I was staying longer than I did, to enjoy more of the motel. Staff was friendly, guests out by the pool were also very friendly.
