Pros:

Great little motel at a reasonable rate. The pool area was fantastic and general areas were modern and set the holiday tone. The bed was comfortable and the room was nice but cleaning was the only thing I would fault, the room was surface level cleaned but the cleaners need to remember to clean under things and behind the beds

Pros:

The room had an overwhelming musty smell, but seemed to be clean. I could not use the hairdryer, because the outlet the hairdryer was attached to, was not working (rm. 117). Bed was comfortable enough and the room itself was ok as well. I would stay there again, if the room would not smell of musty. Overall it was ok.

Pros:

Staff very friendly. You can tell the age of the property but from what I could tell well maintained. Only thing I would say is the water pressure isn’t the best for my thick curly hair. This was the 2nd time I’ve stayed here and just booked a 3rd visit next week. I like to be left alone after procedures and they were very accommodating and understanding.

Only stayed one night and weather was rainy during my stay so unfortunately didn’t get to enjoy the pool, but liked having a balcony. Room is large and clean, cute retro appliances, friendly staff, good vibes at this hotel. Would recommend!

Pros:

Property was great.it was everything that it said it would be. Was told by Expedia that I had a perk and to ask when I arrived at check in. When I arrived to the resort they said I was not given anything and that is was usually would pop up during check in. I showed them a screenshot of said perk but was not given anything.

Pros:

Friendly and fast check in and check out, the room was clean and spacious, the beds were comfortable. Our room was away from pool so it was quiet, pool is big and deep and open until 10pm, very nice, good old tiki vibe. Old but clean hotel.
