Have been trying to connect but no one answers the phones. Some areas to focus on, small details. Quick to charge extra for the dog we had, understandable and expected. Confirmed for three guests verbally and on reservation. Arrived late to the resort, only two bath towels, only two cups for coffee. Freezer compartment in the fridge freezer combo was unusable due to excessive ice build up. Focus on the details. Overall, room was comfy for what we needed.

First time ever seen 1/2 ply toilet paper. No Kleenex. Door locks tricky. Restaurant menu poor and cooking of food not good.

I stayed here 8 years ago while travelling with a golden retriever. Owned by a Polish couple. Rooms were clean and in good condition although dated. Food in the restaurant was excellent. This time rooms not well maintained 7 cars in parking lot. I was the only person in the restaurant on a Friday night. Basically a Indian menu, I love a good curry. Had veg samosa and chicken byrani Both were very tasty. Furniture in BBQ area was was in poor condition. I almost fell through The mesh chair No stopper for the bath tub so shower only. The single ply toilet paper was so thin, not a pleasure to poop. No closet in the room or coat hangers, just 5 hooks on the wall. Internet was very fast and TV channel selection was excellent. I doubt that anyone who stayed here for $110 to $130 per night will make a return visit. Lots of other choices in the area.

Door to the first room, was filled with bugs, mosquitos and spiders. didn't even open the door to check the inside as the bugs would have gone through as well. changed the room, not so much bugs around the entrance, however, inside in the corners there were couple of spiders living, spider bites are bad (from experience). switched again, and the same issue. Very poor people skills of the staff. very strict policy on cancelation if the room is not up to your standards. don't recommend it to anyone to avoid ending up looking for another motel in the area at 1 am! Expedia was helpful trying to remediate the situation, however, ended up paying double without getting any refunds. Not Recommended!
