I took a peek at a few of the rooms when I was walking to the park with my son. I was being nosey because I seen a cool colored light! Anyway they let me take a look and they have completely over-hauled the place and it actually is very nice since the upgrades have been made! Brand new tubs tile floor and toilet in the bathroom. All brand new beds linens, vanity area is brand new granite, nice tvs with cable, and new flooring and mirror next to the bed...the coolest part was u have the option to turn on the regular lights or turn them off, or turn on a third color! Between the trim and ceiling in one room is a blacklight, another room is a green light and another a red!! It changes the whole vibe lol!! I thought it was a beautifully done and it was a well needed upgrade for the motel! The people were friendly as well there pretty funny I thought!
