Room was dirty. Nothing appeared to be wiped down or cleaned well. Plastic Desk chairs were covered in some kind of stains which could have been easily wiped down and cleaned but wasnt. Bed spreads, tops were covered in pubic hairs and could have been easily cleaned or changed if inspected but weren’t. My biggest complaint was the cleaning. I cleaned it myself since I already prepaid.

A decent road side stay. The rooms have been updated but they feel worn and tired still. The restaurant is closed and the pool is also. It’s much better than when I stayed here a few years ago. But, it’s a stretch for the price compared to other hotel/motels near by.

The rooms were renovated and clean. Nice bedding and pillows. I like the drive up to room option and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Checked in late and up early so I can’t comment on the rest of the property.
