Nothing absolutely disgusting spent two hours cleaning. Roaches everywhere . Staff won't even give you any towels if you stay an extra day they give bath mats instead possibly one . My boyfriend had a roach crawling on his arm while sitting on the bed at this location.

Cons:

Everything was filthy and gross and terrible.

Decent budget motel
Pros:

1 week under new management and Jessica is doing a great job at trying to get things under control. Cleanliness is being addressed. The room was comfortable though and the pool was great. Staff that I met was excellent. Would consider trying it again.

Cons:

The cleanliness wasn't up to par, water pressure was not good. But it is being worked on.
