Pros:

The room was overall clean and comfortable. Prices were reasonable.

Cons:

Two staff members loudly arguing right next to my room two nights in a row and causing a noise disturbance. That was pretty much my only grievance; the rest of the staff were friendly.

Pros:

It's an older hotel in a more rural area. My room was exceptionally clean. The a/c was cold. The shower had great water pressure for an hotel. The staff was friendly. I was in town for a funeral and I was thankful to have a place to decompress that was safe. Parking lot was well lit. There's a Starbucks across the street which was great. Restaurants aren't far away. I'm thankful I didn't have to spend a fortune traveling on a holiday weekend.

Clean and comfortable for a pleasant stay.
Pros:

The property was very calm and peaceful great for resting and enjoying!

Cons:

The room smelled a little humid, I think they can be opened before use just to allow some air entering. I did this and it worked. But I understand it’s the humidity.

It served its purpose but wasn’t pleasant due to the odor.
Pros:

Close to our venue

Cons:

First room smelled like body odor. Second room smelled slightly better. Man cleaning other rooms wreaked of body odor so his odor apparently stayed behind in the rooms he cleaned. The outside door next to our room slammed so hard every time someone would use it. It kept me awake for much of the early morning.

Well kept, well managed, great value!
Pros:

Pleasant surprise to stay at this clean and comfortable older basic Motel. The staff were helpful; the room was quite clean and well maintained (better than most all older Motels I have stayed at over the past 10 years) They had an "upgrade" outdoors that caught my eye: 12"square cut outs in a very wide sidewalk that were beautifully planted with well maintained green plants. A good value and nice place!
