Nice little hotel. The area was quiet snd convenient to town. No frills motel thst could use a little updating. I wasnt looking for super swanky. Nice room, good accomodations and it was pretty clean.
The walls are kind of thin and luckily the only thing I had to hear from either neighbor was their conversations, laughter, and sime snoring.

Was clean and orderly, shower was pretty old but overall was fine and prices was right. Breakfast was 3 hotels down, probably because it was off-saeson.

A coat of paint and stain remover for the chairs would be nice. Clean but dated. The microwave was scary - recommend replacing it.

Convenient to focks for our one night stay on our way to the island

You get what you pay for with this property. It wasnt nice but its not awful. We came here just for sleep while we visited the island. My only real grievance is that the pool is closed for the season. No other hotel in the area had a pool that was closed so there was no reason for it and we stayed here specifically because it was cheap and had a pool. If I needed a cheap place to stay I would stay again but only if I was prepared not to be able to swim.

This property felt extremely unsafe and dirty. Upon arrival the window was left open with holes in the screen. The room did not match the hotel at all. We left and went to a different hotel because we felt unsafe and dirty in the room we were staying in. Did not meet our standards at all.

4.0
This was a very dated motel, and much of the property is in disrepair. For the money we had to pay, it was ridiculous. However, the actual room was clean, no bed bugs, and AC worked well. Beds were surprisingly more comfortable than we expected.
8.0
Convenient location, spacious rooms, clean bathrooms, comfortable beds, appreciated the microwave and fridge in room.
We appreciated the two pool options, inside/outside.
Disappointed that the hot tub was out of order.
Indoor pool water was a bit too warm, otherwise nice.
Pool furniture is dirty. and some of it is broken. We would recommend staying here. We would recommend staying here.

Very old and outdated. The room they gave me was NOT the room in the pic that I booked! Beware! They own several motels and they show you a nice room then give you a room in a Travelodge. Deceptive practice!
3.0
Good room overall, spaceous and with plenty of towels. Only issue was the shower head, which was hanged too low, maybe 5 feet high, and more importantly, water was streaming like a bullet and can sting.

Very good location

It would have been an overall good stay however the indoor pool was cold and the hot tub was out if order. I would have booked a different hotel if i knew the hot tub wasnt working. Hint the web site can be updated with items like that

You get what you pay for. Very much in need of a remodel. We weren’t shocked. Bed linens were clean. We stayed since it was just a lay over. Wouldn’t do more than a night here.

Check in was a breeze. Staff were all friendly. Cleanliness was good. Ice was readily available. We did not use the pools, but there was an indoor one and an outdoor one. We will stay there again.

I liked how spacious the rooms were
2.0
The rooms are dated and could use some TLC. The bedding was clean but very old same with the towels. The wallpaper is peeling from the wall and the bathroom had mold in the tub. The mattress had seen better days and the frame was very wobbly and poorly constructed.
Staff was excellent! Checking in and out was a breeze and the desk agent was very nice and helpful.
We only stayed here because we were traveling with dogs, we would most likely not stay here again if traveling sans pupper.
For the cost, this hotel met what we were expecting.
