The staff were friendly. Check in was a breeze and the continental breakfast was good - waffle iron, eggs, sausage, a variety of pastries and bagels, yogurt and cereal. A staff person was always at breakfast - refilling as necessary which was great. The pool is small but centrally located and the kids loved it.
However, the property was a bit run down. The pillows and bedding had stains on them. The room smelled like steamed broccoli. We found two nickel sized live spiders in our room and a bat was outside the laundry room for 2 nights.

The room had two queen mattress and the springs were shot on the sides, you had to sleep in the middle. Traffic noise. Staff and service were good. Continental breakfast was good, but surprised there was no cereal.

I have stayed here before.
This is the 3rd year I have stayed here since moving out of CA and only going back for visits. It's decent enough. Not outstanding and if you like a lot of luxury probably not for you but I find it to be OK to stay. Clean and comfortable

Good stay.
Clean quiet room. Cleaning product smell had to be aired out before we could close the door. Tub was slippery, maybe due to cleaning products on the floor or carpet, but otherwise was comfortable.

Motel was clean but if you’re expecting a warm/hot shower this isn’t the place to stay. The shower setup is terrible at best.

My main concern was that I spent almost two hours fighting with the internet and at the end I was forced to use my cellular service in order to allow me to watch a movie. When speaking to the front desk, I was told the internet worked fine for him and that I should not have an issue. He said he would reset the internet but it is questionable if he did because it did not work after. My time was cut short having to deal with this issue which made it seem kinda like a waste of my hard earned money which I had spent hoping for some time to relax.
