The check-in is super convenient. The only problem with a motel with a front desk is that they have to be available via text/phone/internet. Also, the wifi didn’t work

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable, but the bathroom was too small and the shower was difficult for my elderly father to get into and he was afraid to fall in the shower. Also, the air conditioner wasn’t on when we got there and it was old and took a very long time for the temperature to lower. The refrigerator also was not on and took time for the temperature to lower to preserve food.

Great lodging

My sister was skeptical about staying there. She wanted to stay in a Brand name hotel. She was pleasant surprised at how clean everything was. We both have back issues and the beds were awesome. Would definitely stay again.

While convenient to I75 and the ferries, it was very dated. Tub and shower were flaking, sheets and bed cover were old and worn, no shampoo or conditioner, air conditioner blew under the coffee table, could not sit in the outside chairs as hot air from AC unit blew on you, Carpeting appeared worn and dirty..
