Check in was easy and quick. No elevator so had to carry our bags to the second floor. No pictures on the walls. Very very basic room. No hook or rack for bath towels or face towel. One lamp had no light bulb. Bed was soft and sheets were wrinkled up but looked clean. TV didn’t work but maybe it was because of the storm. Pool are liked clean but water was green. Pool was closed. Glad we only stayed one night.

Met our needs

Motel is exactly what you would expect for the price. It was clean and safe, so it met our most important needs. It’s a dated facility, no bells and whistles, but didn’t expect any at this price point. The mattresses were uncomfortable. The pool was great. The room’s AC kept it nice and cool. The property is well lit and has cameras giving you a sense of security. Overall, it was a great stay.

The room was good sized. We got a king with a pull out bed. Everything was clean and there wasn't any grit on anything. The only problem we had was the air unit kept doing this loud clicking/banging noise every few minutes, it was incredibly loud. Even with the noise though, it stayed cool and the bed was comfortable.
