Do not recommend
Pros:

It was fairly clean.

Cons:

The parking is in the back, very little lighting. I was honestly worried my car could get broke into. There was no counter space in the bathroom, just a few inches around the sink. The bathroom sink was clogged and barely drained. And the ABSOLUTE WORST PART was that the beds had NO MATTRESS COVERS. My bed had a flat sheet on the mattress, I move around a lot when I sleep, and it was pulled up so I was almost just sleeping on the bare mattress when I woke up. We had gotten back late to our rooms and just wanted to go to sleep after a long day so we didn't notify staff on the mattress covers. I didn't want to stand around waiting for them to put new ones on, nor did we want to have to pack up and move all of our stuff at that time. And your "bag breakfast" is a joke.

Very nice suites! Cooktop, refrigerator, and dishwasher in the room! Good sized room.
Pros:

We had some minor issues, but the staff more than made up for them. They were very friendly and willing to give top notch customer service.

Cons:

TV was a bit small, older, and very slow to change channels.

Terrible, Tear it down and rebuild a reputable motel.
Pros:

Upon arrival, the bathroom was filthy with the toilet full of crap. There is no continental breakfast, the photos online are fake. To access the patio, it will lock you out and force you all the way around front to regain access back in. Very rude front desk manager, no refund or actions were taken to correct. Stay away from this one!

Cons:

Staying anywhere else is advised!

Cons:

The breakfast was a huge disappointment. Flyer in the elevator and counter on the dinning counter of a breakfasts burrito, 🤔thought ok that would work. Turned out to just be jusy a receipe. Actual breakfast was a banana, water and granola bar in a plastic bag😵‍💫No access from the out door patio and grill area to back inside the hotel. You have to walk all the way around to a side door! Really?! Especially if you are grilling that is crazy.
AC very noisy. Would not have stayed more than one night. Would not book again 🙄

Perfect accomodations in all respects
Pros:

The hospitality was excellent. Clean spacious suite, full size refrigerator, stovetop microwave.
There is a store in the lobby to purchase frozen dinners, etc. Homemade cookies on arrival and wine or beverages. Most importantly it is the hospitality of the one and only staff (apologies for not getting her name) . She is fabulous, helpful and caring.

Cons:

Norhing.
