Do not say here!

Liked: Location
Disliked: We felt very unsafe. The people lingering were scary. The property’s exterior was very overgrown and the Pool was closed. The hallway smelled

Probably one of the worst...

Liked: Good location for adventure land
Disliked: Got there and the pool was closed the ac sucked in our room and the tv was cracked the ac is disgusting. Probably blow a little bit better if the fins were clean on the fan. Water pressure sucked for shower. And the door had a crack in it so you could see out in the hallway. The door latch also had screw coming out of the lock was definitely not worth the money.

A dump with a good...

Liked: The staff was friendly.
Disliked: The pool was closed (broken), the place had zero amenities (I can't think of any motel/hotel in the last decade+ that I've stayed in that didn't supply a hair dryer). Lots of lights out in our rooms, and broken things. The only real positive was the location to Adventureland.

Poor

Disliked: Pool was one of the only reasons for getting this, and price. Was told on check in pool was closed but chemicals would be added the next day. Next day comes and when asked about pool we were told it was still closed. Pillows were flat. Called to office and told there were none we could have. Asked for extra blankets to prop pillows up and told none. Gave us a few flat towels to prop up pillow. Sheet isn’t fit bed. garbage outside around building. Key lock door broke to inside of motel. So anyone had access to the building.
