Great trip. I stayed three nights. I would definitely stay there again.
Pros:

The room was very cozy. It was obviously renovated. Very clean. It had everything I needed. It was way better than I had expected. I stayed in a deluxe queen room.

Cons:

There was nothing not to like.

It was a good stay overall, but some improvements are needed.
Pros:

The place seems recently renovated. It was clean, tidy and smelt fresh. The location isn't really walkable but it was in driving distance. The beds were comfortable too.

Cons:

They need more outlets in the rooms, especially by the bedsides. No breakfast was included, so that would be an improvement. The location was further away from restaurants and stores. Myself and my colleague saw bugs and roaches inside our rooms and we stayed in separate rooms. Parking lot lines are faded so it was hard to see them especially at nights. Door nobs to get into rooms are lowered for some reason.

Pros:

It was an emergency stop to rest as we were driving for several hours at that point. We booked very late and they were very accommodating.

Cons:

Nothing!

Pros:

Good location, clean, hygienic, room was big and tidy. Loved independent AC.

Cons:

Walls are thin, could hear room beside me going hard all night, and the other room's TV. Staff got the job done but wasn't kind or professional with me. Can understand he deals with rude customers all day but he needs a little training on how to treat clients kindly. Felt he was rude because of my skin color (south asian).

Perfect for a short stay
Pros:

It was Clean, there is plenty of parking space, staff was kind. It's good value for a short stay or if you are just passing by, it's a Motel, it's not pretending to be a 5 star hotel
