If you need a place to sleep for a night, this is it. I would not recommend for a family. The room and bathroom weren’t clean. Bad odors in both areas. There were bugs on the bed sheets. Good part overall is it’s pretty close to the village and the go karts.

Not handicap friendly if you request 2 beds. I the area they put us in the wheelchair walk way was to small and no handicap parking spaces. The room was not a handicap friendly room. The wheelchair had a hard time moving around. I could not understand the person at the front desk. Very disappointed.

Photographs showed a separate bedroom from living space with a couch and kitchenette with cabinets. This was not what was delivered. Received a studio room, no kitchenette, no separate living space. Pictures need to be updated. The motel is falsely advertising their rooms.

The room was tiny. The property had garbage a f dead bugs all over the place. We actually didn't even stay. Took one look at the room and went and booked an Airbnb. I was travelling with my daugter and we were scared to stay there.
