Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were booked. Arrived for check in. Rude reception. We left and lost our money as they refused refund. Dirty, cluttered. All rooms had windows open on all units. Only one restaurant nearby, very basic and unacceptable. Motel was in an isolated area. Rating was well above what our experience was. Definitely would not recommend staying there.

Liked: Cleanliness
Most overpriced place. No coffee or tea in the room. If you want complimentary coffee you had to walk out of your room outside and walk 100 ft. to the reception to get it. There were no proper drinking glass in the room. Balcony was ugly overlooking a busy highway with two unlatching chairs. I would not recommend this place for the price you have to pay.

The room had recently been renovated. Our teens loved the smart tv. Large bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash were great. The view is incredible but unfortunately the parking area blocks it if you are in the motel part of the property. The stay was quite expensive.
