Beautiful sunrise

Our stay was nice and the hotel was quiet. We just needed a place to sleep for the night but there were lots of restaurants accessible by car and it has a golf course. We got to watch the sun come up from our balcony.

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.

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.

Sink backed up in the middle of the night so I woke up to standing water. Couldn’t go to the bathroom, shower, shave or brush my teeth. No clerk or manager onsite. Security did not pickup the phone. I had to leave for a job so I could not stay waiting around. Terrible experience

Always a good stay

We have stayed here many times. Its a good location for our needs. Its clean. The pool area is nice however, the sectional sofa is disgustingly dirty. We layed towels over it just to sit on it. The restaurant is good. We really enjoy having our meals on the outdoor patio overlooking the golf course. The entire staff at the resort are very friendly. The bedding is comfortable but the rooms are very outdated. The walls are dark and the furniture clean but worn. There is no convenient bedside place to plug your phone in. The in room refrigerator is great to have.
