A very tired facility with noisy ac unit, noisy fridge and uncomfortable beds. Breakfast was basic and limited in choices. We had planned to stay 2 nights but were glad that a second night was not available when we booked. We would not book again.

Wasn’t sure what to expect based on the previous reviews. My family was pleasantly surprised - comfortable beds, quiet room, and basic breakfast to get us going in the morning. Yes, the property is very dated, but the price was cheap, so I’d say good value if you’re just looking for somewhere to sleep for the night.

The breakfast was not worth going to. The coffee was horrible. No waffle maker like shown in the pictures. Only bread for making toast and one toaster that couldn't be adjusted. 2 kinda of cereal, yogurt and chocolate chip muffins. As well as a basket of apples and 2 green bananas. As for the room, it was clean but definitely old. No fan in the bathroom and the toilet tank was cracked. The beds were so hard. We ordered a cot which cost $20/night. It was so uncomfortable that no one would sleep on it the second night. The kids really enjoyed the pools but that was about it.

This is an older style motel, but quaint, quiet and well run. Enjoyed continental style breakfast and beds were quite comfortable. The game room by the indoor pool is unique. Would definitely stay here again.

Would have been awesome in the 1960's. But now is run-down, peeling paint on walls and ceilings, needs a major renovation. Breakfast was included but very spartan - cold cereal, muffins, toast, juice, coffee and tea, yogourt. There are lots of newer hotels in the area that will likely be better.
