Same owner over multiple properties. Had to go next door hotel to check in/see front desk. Also have to go to the next door property to use a (run down, ugly, plants growing inside) pool. Property is not cared for in a professional manner. Seems short staffed and abandoned. The front desk did let us know we get into two local 'waterparks' with our stay. I took my kids to both, both were run down, broken down water slides, and excessive mold and smells. Do not recommend staying unless you have very very low expectations.

Sebastian

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed at this property over the 4th of July weekend and paid $250 per night, which is extremely high given the overall condition and experience. While we didn’t expect luxury accommodations from a motel, we did expect basic cleanliness and service—which were unfortunately lacking. The room was outdated and not well maintained, with visible dirt and wear. We stayed for two nights and had to take out our own trash, as no housekeeping service was provided. That alone was disappointing, especially for the price. Additionally, the motel advertises free breakfast included with the stay, but when we inquired, we were told they don’t actually offer breakfast. Instead, we were given coupons for nearby restaurants to get a small discount—this felt misleading and unprofessional. Overall, this stay did not meet expectations and offered poor value for the price. We would not stay here again and do not recommend it to others.
