Unfortunately we got covid and weren’t given a refund because of the late cancellation, it was a last minute cancellation as we suddenly started getting symptoms earlier that day and then tested positive for Covid; businesses used to be more flexible given the pandemic, guess not anymore. Lost $200.

Super cute! I wish I could've stayed longer! My only complaints are that there was no mini fridge in the hotel room and being next to the pool was super loud with music and people.

I loved the water pressure in the shower! Nice hot
The weather was great. The air was fresh outside. I walked into the motel room and it smelled like not pleasant not fresh a little too much like cleaner I had to get used to the smell. It wasn’t dirty. I loved the high water pressure in the shower. Lots of hot water and tons of volume. Who cares about the environment when you have such a great experience in the shower

Just didn't like the fact I had to go back and forth to the office seems like the key itself can't be by your phone deactivates your key room, Then I got attitude from the young lady, like its my fault! Of course I hold hotel key in my hand & phone and sometimes both in my pocket... Also pay attention to your sheets and towels seems they don't change them just make them look perfect like if they changed them... Other than that it's okay for stay....
