Short and sweet.
Pros:

The size of the room, the bed and the location.

Cons:

Nothing worked, the ice machine didn't work and elevator didn't work. The room code originally given to me didn't work so I had to call and get a new one. No one put out anything new for breakfast and nothing was changed out. There weren't any options to get new towels because no one was ever on the property while I stayed there.

Another comfortable, clean, and quiet stay
Pros:

The room was amazing, great vibe, shower was awesome, the tiny kitchenette, all the facilities were clean and amazing.

Cons:

Would like to have had a better variety for breakfast, but at least there's a Hardee's across the road.

Pros:

Everything is all automated. They sent me the door code straight to my phone, so there was no waiting in line to talk to someone in person, then get a key card for the door. It's clean and efficient. Exactly what we needed for our needs.

Best hotel stay I've ever had.
Pros:

The place was just amazing, gave an amazing vibe as soon as I walked through the door. The game room looked amazing with pool table, will have to explore game room next time I stay here.

Cons:

Would've been nice if the vending machine took card, and had a drink vending machine. I didn't go looking on other floors, and would be nice if offered more for breakfast, but overall, I have no real complaints.

Cute, but needs some more attention, maybe a staff member .
Pros:

The newly deigned/renovated rooms were definitely more eye appealing than the exterior upon arrival. We enjoyed our stay overall with a few hiccups. The game room is small but a cute plus for a night in.

Cons:

We hit a few unpleasant things on our stay overnight, there was no hot water upon arrival, we were out of coffee pods and regular sugar in our room, we were told breakfast was 7am-11am; at 8:23am there is no one at the office nor is there even a pot of coffee in the office started.
There isn’t a staff member on site available. .

Pros:

Normales Motel Level. Kommunikation bei Problem mit dem Codeschloss gut.

Cons:

Bei 2 von 4 Zimmern hat das Codeschloss nicht funktioniert, nach einem Telefonat konnte das Zimmer aber mit einem Ersatzschlüssel geöffnet werden. Kostete allerdings leider Zeit , war bei Regen ,nach einer langen Motorrad Tour nicht so cool.

Very good for a quick overnight stay. Quiet, comfortable and accessible.
Pros:

It was good for a quick overnight stop which is just what we needed. Very quiet and comfortable.

Cons:

Our keypad did not work, but luckily the inside lock was sufficient to lock the door. Also, the heat was not on so it took a while to warm up as it was pretty cold, and the hot water
got warm but not hot. But that wasn't terrible. Overall a good experience.
