You get what you pay for.
Pros:

Breakfast was adequate

Cons:

Room had been updated but exterior of the property could use a refresh. Could not tell if bottom of the pool was dirty or discolored.
When cleaning rooms--lookup! Bugs inside light fixture in bathroom. Mold on tiles next to the shower

It served the purpose for this trip, but I won't come back.
Pros:

The breakfast buffet catered to c onstruction crews and truckers: high cholesterol items like bacon, potatoes and
gravy. A better selection of fruit would have been healthier and appreciated. The Hostess on duty had a pleasant
smile and that kept the lack of healthier selections at least tolerable.

Cons:

When I came to check in, the desk clerk said the WiFi was down. I soon learned that the pool pump was in need of repair
and the ice-maker wasn't working because "it needed to be cleaned". This motel has serious maintenance problems, and
evidently does not service things regularly.

Good stay !
Pros:

Check in was a breeze even though was late at night after a party. Room was clean and included 2 free water bottles in the refrigerator. In the morning breakfast was nice. Lots of options and staff amazing. They even have Oatmilk ! Employees made more food since it was still within breakfast hours even though almost ending time. Property was clean throughout and cute . Parking was safe and close by. Didn’t use the pool but looked refreshing. There are gas stations and food places right next door , close by.

Cons:

There was a cricket in room. It was kinda scary and made it a little hard to rest but not too surprised since there are plants and stuff right outside door and windows . Other bugs would have been a deal breaker and none spotted whatsoever. There was a phone number written on the back of shower cap packaging .
