Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The motel was easy to find. The room was very basic but it was all that we needed for an overnight stay. The pool looked lovely although unfortunately we didnt have time to use it. Beds were comfortable and shower had good pressure.
Negative: We booked for 2 adults (my daughter and myself) and a child (my grandchild). However, they didnt provide an extra towel and the single bed had no top sheet on it.
Summary: Basic but adequate for an overnight stay
