"Staff was very friendly. Room was comfortable. Bathroom needed to be "refreshed", meaning there was what appeared to be mildew in the cracks in the shower and walls, however, you could tell it was cleaned, just needed to be repainted/repaired. Restaurants were good. The pool was refreshing, and having laundry facilities was great. Bang for the buck this is a very good motel."
