Pool was heated, but not exactly warm, especially with the large opening to it. Still, a nice accommodation enjoyed by the whole family.

Room was clean and had a refrigerator that was handy. Pool was heated and soon to be renovated but we enjoyed it. Bad part was no hot water in the room. When we reported it the maintenance man was working on it but not fixed in the two days we were there. Any chance for monetary compensation for our inconvenience? Hot water seems basic.

Simple overnight accommodations. Clean, comfortable. Rooms a bit small, but it's an older motel, so that's not unexpected. Parking right outside your door. Indoor pool.

The room was clean and tidy but woke up this morning to a cockroach scurrying across the floor. Also, the beds are super uncomfortable and my partner and I had a hard time sleeping due to the hard mattress and pillows. The location is convenient and the staff are friendly but I draw the line when it comes to vermin in my room.
