"You can tell it's an older property, but they've updated it. It was super clean and cute. We were at the far end of property and my only issue was it took forever, and I man forever. Like probably over 5 minutes to get hot water to the shower. It came just to a while. Will stay here again close to the casino."

10/10 Excellent
"Staff was very nice, room was VERY clean, we didn’t get to use any amenities or visit the restaurant at the motel. The rooms are a little dated but they are working on updating but the room was comfy, clean and quiet. We would have loved to have been able to see the river from a window instead we got a building with tall grass. We had a great time and slept well and it’s very convenient to the shops. We will definitely stay again"
