CLEAN ROOM AND NICE BREAKFAST, BUT THEY NEED MORE EVENING EMPLOYEES ON SITE!
Pros:

THE BREAKFAST WAS REALLY GOOD, ESPECIALLY THE CINNAMON ROLLS! PLENTY TO EAT AND IT WAS HOT!

Cons:

THE TV REMOTE DID NOT WORK, EVEN WITH NEW BATTERIES. THE ROOM PHONE DID NOT WORK EITHER. HAD TO CALL FRONT DESK TO TELL THEM ABOUT THE TV. WENT TO FRONT DESK TO GET NEW BATTERIES. HE PROMISED TO COME AND SEE WHAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE IT STILL DIDN'T WORK. NEVER CAME BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONLY EMPLOYEE FOR THE ENTIRE MOTEL FOR THE ENTIRE NIGHT!! FINALLY WENT BACK UP AND HE WENT TO ANOTHER ROOM AND GOT THE REMOTE AND IT WORKED.

It was a middle of line experience - a little pricey the state of cleanliness we had.
Pros:

Everything was as expected - the staff were friendly and our room was decently clean. The breakfast was very good, my toddler was able to enjoy most of the items! The pool was a little dirty and our room could have been cleaner in some areas (the jet tub and bathroom in general).

Cons:

Some areas could have been a little cleaner. The jets on our tub were dirty. Our bedsheets had some discoloration and odd stains so I ended up not using the ones provided and we placed a personal blanket down to lay on and bought our own from Walmart to use to cover up with.

Pros:

I love that the pool was heated although it was a little too warm I don't want to complain about that

Cons:

I didn't like that you advertise a pancake machine and scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast and none of those were available on Sunday morning which is crazy there were egg omelets and sausage turkey sausage and I don't want any of that
