Would not recommend
Pros:

The location was good. Bedding clean.

Cons:

We stayed in a handicap room because that was the only room with a fridge and microwave, Room 105. However, this motel did not match its pictures. Pretty much everything was worn and needing refreshing. It was in great need of a deep deep cleaning and scrubbing from top to bottom. It smelled like a wet dirty dog. The beds were not comfortable. The bedding and sheets were clean, but the rest was lacking. The floor was not level and was wavy making you walk like a drunk person. The WiFi was extremely spotty and we could not access it in our room. The phone did not work at all. We needed ice and when we went to get it, the room that held the ice machine had washers and dryers with it. It smelt very musky and moldy in that room. I would not consume that ice. Definitely overcharged for the type of establishment. It was a great disappointment. We could not relax in our room….it was ick. I would not recommend this establishment. Unfortunately, we could not find another place to stay due to the events in town and this was well booked in advance.

GoodFamilyStay. Great place to stay in general! The staff were so nice,made me feel at home!
Pros:

Loved the pool! Hotel staff were awesome! Very nice. Let me know prices were increasing due to a truck show locally. Room would've been 250 a night.

Cons:

I understand pet fee. Not all pets are well behaved. 20 a night not bad fee.

We got our money worth. The price was great
Pros:

The location and the pool was really clean and nice the water pressure in the shower was very good

Cons:

The toilet leaned back and it was really small low to the floor and the bathroom was really too small to get dressed after our shower. The room had a really bad order like moldy

Pros:

La persona en recepción fué muy amable. El cuarto estaba limpio.

Cons:

Las condiciones del cuarto no eran buenas. El piso se hunde según caminas. La puerta parecía que se podría abrir solo de empujarla.
