Pros:

It is an outside entry motel which has been updated. The rooms were clean but a bit small (bathroom, vanity area) but well equipped with refrigerator and microwave flat screen and coffee maker. If I found myself in Martin again, I would consider it. The only complaint I had was the bed was a bit stiff for my taste. But a solid place to stay and a very friendly staff.
