The place is quite dated. No lobby with coffee. Not a good value for just a room to stay in. It’s great if you’re attending an event there and you’re drinking and shouldn’t drive. It is quiet, safe, and secluded.

The pool was closed down 2 of the 3 days we were staying there. Breakfast was not served even though the email received for check in states breakfast. The floor of the kitchen in our room was sticky and there was no soap to wash the dishes. The cable box wasn't working and needed to be reset twice during our short stay. Asked for a final receipt to be emailed and still have not received.

Motel 6 on a golf course. Over priced and not very many options in the vicinity, old building and rooms, dirty rug carpet like in an old restaurant, run down, poor water pressure. Will work if your in a pinch.
