The rooms were neat and clean.
Pros:

The breakfast was great! My son and granddaughter loved the waffles. The coffee was great. Nice to have different items to choose from. Having a complementary breakfast is one of the reasons that I chose this motel when we travel up north.

Cons:

nothing to dislike
