The staff were wonderful to talk with and were helpful. The room was dated but clean. Beds were comfortable. The pool was clean and the kids had a good time. The only disappointment was when we went swimming, in the morning before check out, we found out the waterside didn’t open until 4 pm. I never saw that info online.

Something has changed at this location where it does not feel safe. There are some sketchy activities going on in the back area of the motel with people coming in after hours at night and hanging out in the stair wells. Also more domestics and door slamming.

There was sketch activity going on with letting people in at all hour of the night. People waiting or hanging out in the stair well of door 5, and scream fest in the hall way. Lots of door slamming.
