It was ok but not super clean. Important areas like toilets shower sink sheets etc all perfectly fine but there was a lot of dust under the bed. Nobody there to greet us. Door ( room 21) did not lock. Parking for this room was not clear. Pool nice but lots of leaves in it

Beautiful pool. We were out looking for swim holes but forgot it was summer. The sunset swim in the heated pool was a beautiful reward. The kitchen amenities are so helpful too for a motel!! Love our stay here!
