This motel was cool. The pool area was nice and clean. The staff was very nice. The tiki bar was cool and the service and drinks were great.
The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, but the rooms are old and definitely need upgrades. The price was fair. My only issue was the AC unit did not cool down the room enough.
