Terrible Room
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and the location was great ³

Cons:

We booked the "special room" with a whirlpool bath. There were ao many issues with this room. The whirlpool tub had stains that were poorly repaired. There was peeling paint in several areas. There was a concerning stain on the carpet. The toilet paper holder was hanging by a thread. The platform bed frame was so dusty. And, the furniture looked like it was picked up by the side of the road. Two nights for $357 only to be miserable. I will add that I have been chronically ill for almost two years, and this trip was meant to be finally a fun getaway This room definitely caused us stress. When my husband voiced his concerns to the manager, he received no apology and his defense was people love the room, the motel is in rhe process of being renovated and he would refund $40. The idea of packing up and finding another hotel was not feasible. My husband's point to him was if it is their premium. room , then they should have considered renovating it first. Overall eperience at this hotel was terrible.

There is potential. Not well cleaned or kept up. No breakfast.
Pros:

It does have a pool and hot tub and access to the retro gym. This facility has so much potential. It once had a dining room, bar, three conference rooms, tennis court, saunas, retro 80s gym, and more. This could really be a sweet retreat if properly managed. Right now it’s a bit run down.

Cons:

No actual breakfast. False advertisement. This facility has so much potential. It once had a dining room, bar, three conference rooms, tennis court, saunas, retro 80s gym, and more. This could really be a sweet retreat if properly managed. Right now it’s a bit run down. The sheets had hair and a yellow discoloration at the head of the bed. Really needs new management that love the art of hotel management.

Pros:

Great price. Pool.

Cons:

A drug deal took place 2 spaces from our door in the parking lot. 10 minutes after we arrived. Another room 3-4 doors from ours had 3-4 adults and as many kids. Unloaded 3 bags of groceries and a watermelon. I never saw anyone leave. Seemed to be many thin run down white guys walking all around. Seemed hopelessly meandering. Never approached me but unsettling.

Will not stay here ever again, filthy and not safe.
Pros:

It was close to the bowling alley where we had a tournament.

Cons:

It was dirty. There was hair in the tub, sink and on the table. There was a dirty used towel left in the cabinet. There was crumbs everywhere. There was no chain lock on the door. There was people constantly outside-pretty sure I saw a drug deal happen too! There was holes in the walls.

Other than the noise and restlessness the staff made up for it
Pros:

Staff was pleasant and willing to help when spoken to.

Cons:

I should have listened to my gut feeling when given the location of the room.
It was close to the entrance of the building and high traffic
Noisy loud hard walking people above kept us awake and miserable
Could hear homeless people back of property . So much activity in the atmosphere.
Next time if I return I will request a room near end so chances it may be quieter.
