“I don't like to be treated like a child.”

When we got to the Kings Arms we immediately realized how small the room were. Then the kids were running all around the room and then sat on the bed and I saw their feet. They were BLACK! The carpets are extremely disgusting! The bathrooms are cleaned daily but u would never have known it. I think it is because the place has not been updated ina really long time. Also if u stay here please make sure you bring your own towels and wash cloths!! They give you ones that are paper thin and don't smell the best. I probably would recommend this place to a very young couple without children or a single young person. I couldn't get my kids to understand the concept that they had to wear their shoes in the room. There was also no where to hang up your beach towels and if u did hang them up in the restroom they didn't dry. Don't ask for anything extra or you might have the person from the desk at your door. Also do not take your laptop expecting to be able to access the internet. There are no directions and they say they have wireless internet and tell you how to get on it in another language. I am very computer savvy and I could not figure out how to use it. I thankfully brought my aircard on the trip. Also make sure you have a cell phone because there are no phones in the rooms. I have never in my life stayed at a motel where there was no phone in the room. I personally didn't feel comfortable having no phone in the room. The pool opens in the morning late and closes in the morning early. I just felt like the owners were constantly watching ur every move. I can understand that you probably get all kinds of people but u shouldn't run away new customers due to past bad experiences. But again, you get what you pay for. The beds are so uncomfortable and u will have to see ur chiropractor upon return. But other than that, the location itself is wonderful!!

“you get what you pay for”

(read my entire review, the first couple sentences dont necessarly do the place justice) So you honestly get what you pay for. At first, my impression was "OHMYGOODNESS! lets go somewhere else!" (esp after looking at the shower). The room was tiny and the AC smelled like a public restroom. However, after we stayed there for a few hours, we came to realize that it definitely wasnt bad for a room this cheap. Price rates in July are absolultely ridiculous- ranging from 300-400 a night, whereas this was only 142 per night. The room was very clean and there were no bugs, which was a relief. Although it was not a luxurious suite, it was a clean place to stay and you can definitely get used to it. But i would highly recommend bringing some kind of spray. Overall, the room matched its price.

“Not the worst I've ever stayed, but far from the best”

I guess it depends on how high your standards are, but I must say that I was pretty disappointed with my stay at this motel. My ex (who was pretty cheap with pretty low standards) did not seem bothered by it however. The rooms were not as clean as I would have liked, and were incredibly unattractive. The tv in our room was broken, and so we had to be moved to a different room upon discovery of this fact. What bothered me the most, however, was the service. Not only were the people in charge completely unbothered by any of the problems brought to their attention, they were also completely unmotivated to make up for the inconveniences experienced. And when I needed an extra blanket in the middle of the night, I was S.O.L, because the front desk is completely unmanned from 11pm to 6am and no one answers the number posted on the door. The situation would have to be pretty desperate to convince me to stay here again.

“What a Dive!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2009

person found this review helpful

I was very disappointed. We usually stay at The Shagri la or The Seahawk but they were booked. The rooms were musty. Our toilet did not work. It was the original toilet that was first put in the hotel and nothing inside of it had been replaced.. The bed sheet would not stay on. The pillows were flat. The wifi was a joke. The staff spoke poor english and were not very helpful. Our back window had a view of trash in the grass. There were not enough towels. The person writes the hotel policies is contradictory and does not know any proper grammar. It really needs remodeled and given some TLC. It could be a nice motel. Also the gutters leaked really bad when it rained. The location was nice and so was the pool. I will not stay again.

“Horrifying *** Do not Stay *** PLEASE”

What a MESS! My family and I have stayed here for years and finally got fed up. We have stayed here for over a decade, but they have stopped screening their guest. Let me tell you what happened. Last year, the first day we woke up there was broken glass and blood everywhere. Guest had fought overnight and it looked like an episode from Cops. Great for young children to see and to look forward to all year! Then it gets better. Swimming at the pool is an experience to remeber. If you love people who spit, hocker and do mailmans, then this is the place for you. SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK!

The landscaping is beautiful too. The little amount of grass and weeds is to much to maintain. Also, if you like wood paneling and the Austin Powers vibe then you will really enjoy the rooms. I swear 20/20 did an episode here if you know what I mean.
