Quaint and fun
The grounds are adorable and well maintained. Room was spacious except for the tiny toilet/shower room. That was pretty claustrophobic. They have done a good job with an old property though and staff were really nice.

We thought we had booked a room with an accessible tub, but for whatever reason, that’s not what we got.
Najah was absolutely wonderful in getting us situated properly.

Nicely redone
This facility was redone a while ago. You can tell it used to be just a simple motel, but they really did the best they could. In some areas it does give the feel of "lipstick on a pig", but for the most part it was redone fairly well. The pool area is very nice and the lobby/bar (although dark) does give off a good classy vibe. The rooms are nice and a good size.
