Worse stay ever
We went as a big group. I’ll was the first one there and got my room. I went down and told the woman at the desk that my air was not working. What can we do about it and she got smart with me and told me nothing at first and then finally she was like well, I guess I can see if I have another room available. She was very disrespecting and then we went down the next morning to get breakfast and we were in there for over an hour, almost fourty-five minutes to get our drink order, I’m sorry but what kind of service is that? I work in fast food restaurant so I understand business but that was just nonsense and then when I got my food, it was gross so very disappointed and honestly, it was money I could’ve saved and got another room somewhere else, but when I ask to be refunded was told no

This hotel was kinda run down, pool wasn’t open, outside around perimeter was dirty. The room was ok older furniture but bed was comfortable. The ac didn’t work real well so I went and bought a fan which helped for 2nd night. My biggest issue was the lady at breakfast she was NOT friendly and was not available for long periods of time. We finally had to go to front desk to pay for the extra breakfast items we ordered. They have a cook to order which we liked but you got limited items, so we ordered off menu but after 20-25 min of waiting to pay we finally went to front desk. I’ve stayed at this hotel before but it has changed a lot and would not return again. It’s ok for one night stay but past that I would look elsewhere. Lady at desk said they won’t be econolodge or with Choice Hotels so not looking like things gonna get better. Also was shocked that the front desk person also mixes alcoholic beverages that are for sale at front desk. Found that odd.

Scary on the outside. Nice on the inside.
This was an older motel and it looks it. When I pulled in to the parking lot I thought I might be in the wrong place. Looks like it's under significant renovation. However, after checking in, I told my wife that I thought the desk clerk was probably the friendliest hotel employee I've ever encountered. The inside of the room was strikingly different than the outside. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn't really high end, but it was very clean and very comfortable. We walked across the street to a pretty good seafood restaurant.
