We arrived here at 9:00 p.m. after driving all day in the 100-degree heat with our two young kids. We had stayed here a couple years before and found it to be a decent budget motel, so we decided to stay here again. After arriving, we turned on the air conditioner immediately. After we unpacked and got settled in, we discovered the air conditioner was not working. Apparently the motel staff knew about this problem and told us it would work better if we turned it on low (?!) Despite all common sense, we tried this, to no avail. To the staff's credit, they apologized and quickly brought us a fan upon request and also offered to let us move to another room. (At 10:30 in our pajamas? No.) The fan finally cooled the room off enough for us to fall asleep around 11:30. Other comments: the bathroom was not as clean as I would have liked, but the pool was decent. I think I'm finally old enough now (34) to appreciate paying a few extra bucks to get a nice, reliable place rather than trying to save a buck and end up with who knows what.
