Staff was great. Room was clean. Location was pretty good too. Breakfast was pretty much all “grab and go” but had a decent selection. Overall it was a very good stay and hard to beat for the price.

We had to ask to get our room cleaned and to get clean towels. We were also told at check in there was a $20 a day parking fee, in which was waved when I said to cancel my reservation. The bathroom plumbing was a less than adequate with no hot water on the last two days. No quiet time at night with younger guests being loud and obnoxious at 1/2AM in the morning. I could go on, but just to say our stay was very nupleasant is an understatement and I'm very unhappy that we spent that much money for that kind of service. I will not be booking that property again. I'm more than dissatisfied and I truly this reaches someone that cares. Thankyou.

Location was perfect. However when we arrived in the room there were no towels and no soap to take a shower. In addition, breakfast selection wasn’t good at all. We were put in a room behind a bar and it was extremely loud until 2am in the morning.

The staff is always very helpful and friendly at Southwinds Motel. Our room was accomodating but rather small for a double. And they need to put more hooks in the bathroom and a full length mirror in the room. There is nothing on the walls so there is room and a large mirror would be nice.
