Pros:

Only complaints I have is the pool was small and the pillows was a little flat. Other than that it’s actually the nicest hotel I’ve stayed in. Comfy bed, huge bathroom, great breakfast, friendly staff, clean, and big tv. Overall great stay!

Was worth the price due to convenance and location. Plus, the size of the room and the amenities.
Pros:

staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms where clean and smelled clean. The pool water was clean. No problems with parking. One of my best stays of anywhere this year. Will return again.

Cons:

Bed was a little stiff and so was the couch. There were no trash liners in the trash cans, so I had to buy some. Not sure if liners are used at the motel but I personally like to take my trash out daily and having a trash liner makes that a lot easier. The coffee pot did not take k-cups so I bought a cheap coffee maker that used k-cups so I could enjoy my favorite brand.

The location.

Cons:

We didn't have a room key. I felt so bad for the reception because she had to let everyone in their rooms with her master key.
