Budget option if Price is your only consideration.
Pros:

Inexpensive, right off the highway. The room seemed to be clean.

Cons:

Not well maintained: a lot of garbage laying around: many things that need to be fixed. In my room, the light over the bathroom sink didn’t work and I could never get on the Internet.

Wasn’t worth the time I spent there.
Pros:

Checked out at midnight, didn’t have any food. Staff was nice. The facility was clean.

Cons:

My dog was spooked when we entered the room, someone near us kept setting off their car alarm, trucks on highway were very loud.

Good enough
Pros:

Location was convenient to the highway. James was friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable. Parking was convenient just outside our room. Breakfast was satisfactory, waffles were good.

Cons:

The floor felt a bit sticky. The light over the sink in Room 106 didn't work making it hard to do hair and makeup in the dark. The air conditioner was extremely noisy so we decided to sleep without it... That might be why the floor felt so sticky.

Cheap and cheerful-ish
Pros:

Location was good, right off the highway. Cost was excellent, cheap and cheerful-ish. Room was clean, bedding was clean, fresh but tiny towels provided

Cons:

It was a little shabbier than I had anticipated. The staff person whilst methodical and did the job, did not reflect a professional image at all. I wasn't expecting someone to be wearing a 3 piece suit but he looked scruffy - he had a wife beater shirt on that didn't look especially clean, baseball hat, loose shorts. Didn't really instill confidence. Plus - the FREE breakfast they advertise - in the morning was a well-worn sign 'breakfast not available today'

Cons:

Property felt very sketchy. You can tell it's rented out weekly or monthly to locals. Tires, grills and other items cluttered areas by rooms. Rooms were clean and kinda updated but in our room there was a hole in the bathtub. You can tell by flooring choice the property is used more for longer stays by locals. There was a lot of traffic outside of room at late hours. Honestly didn't really feel safe staying hetr but had no option while traveling. I will not stay there again.
