Good value for families in...

Liked: Pools were great Dog and family friendlyRestaurant on site Short walk to townGreat staff/team
Disliked: Bathroom a little run downPillows too small

I would return with my...

Liked: Location of motel is good. It's fairly quiet with countryside around it. The new apartments next door aren't noisy but I had an end room and the lights from the apartment building were very bright at night. A blackout curtain on the end window would help diminish the lights.
Disliked: The grout in the shower especially near the wall needs to be cleaned with bleach. There's mildew in the grout. Otherwise room was clean.Room 120 has a view of a large bin and messy-looking construction blue tarps, etc. This should be cleaned up. This debris also uses up several parking spaces which might be needed.

Exceptional

relaxing and fun experience outside

Liked: The rooms are a little bit outdated and dirty. We were staying in one room on the main floor and the floors have seen better days. I wonder if it was a room reserved for dogs? The carpets/floors need a deep cleaning.Staff was very friendly and efficient, and we spent most of our day outside, so it was a great experience all in all. But I'm glad I got the room dicsounted because if I had to pay full price for that, I would not have been happy.
Disliked: The floors of the room and the bathroom were old and not very clean. I don't think they use vacuums to clean these rooms, they was dirt/debris on the floor when we got the room.

Exceptional

Very good

Liked: The over all theme of the hotel was retro and fun. It was well decorated, clean and comfortable. I loved enjoying the pools there on my stay.

Great place to stay to...

Liked: Peaceful, beautiful and very accommodating

Pleasant

Liked: Staff was very nice, pleasant and helpful. Grounds are lovely, neat robes
Disliked: The room had no drawers, very little “closet” space, plugs hard to reach and not all operational as far as charging goes. TV - for me- hard to follow directions as to how to cast. 8 am start for restaurant or even getting a cup of coffee seems pretty late, i think more comfortable seating - pool beds great but hard to finfd a comfortable place to sit and read in pool area

LOUD highway in front of...

Liked: Parking was easy. Staff in the spa were nice. Nice bar and Restuarant. Didn't eat there but looked nice. Had a nice outdoor seating area with fire pit. Pools were heated.
Disliked: Motor lodge was a long walk from downtown on a busy street (felt like a highway). Do NOT get a room near the street (200) range. Was like a NASCAR track outside of the room all night long. Walls between rooms are paper thin and rooms are outdated. Did not have any wash clothes in room when we checked in. For the price you pay you're better off spending more and closer to town.
