Location

Strong location sentiment: repeatedly praised for proximity to freeway, airport access and an on-site/adjacent Denny's with guest discount.
Room Quality
6.5
Several complaints about dated rooms, small bathrooms, odd shower layout, semi-firm beds, card keys failing, and occasional smells; some found rooms comfortable.
Amenities
5.8
Amenities received multiple negatives: no breakfast available now, limited pool hours, noisy/struggling AC, poor TV service and channel selection, lack of elevator for 2nd floor; Denny's adjacency is a plus.
Value for Money
9
Many guests called the hotel reasonably priced or good value, highlighting cost-effectiveness and that it 'works' for short stays.
Food and Beverage
7.6
Mixed F&B sentiment: no on-site breakfast (negative) but advantage of Denny's next door with a 10% guest discount; overall slightly positive-to-neutral.
Overall Experience

Pros:

Comfortable bed. Helpful staff.

Cons:

No A/C so we opened a window. No big deal there except the gas station across the street played music too loud literally all night long. I thought there was a band playing, nope, just gas station music that was not played during the day.

The 4 C's!
Pros:

It was convenient, cost effective, relatively comfortable. Clean.Cass! Dennys next door was a bonus with 10% off as a guest. This place works for the time I need to be in town. Also like that there is no extra deposit

Cons:

Seemed like the building was designed for people of shorter stature as I was able to touch the ceiling in most parts of the motel. The bathroom was very small and the shower was built at a weird angle. The beds were semi harder then I was used too.
