Enough for what I needed for a decent price.
Pros:

It was perfect to get a good night's sleep. Nothing fancy, clean

Cons:

The bathroom fan was horrendously loud. I let the front desk know.

I asked for my linen to be changed and it was not done. Housekeeping was a little off putting.

Terrible
Cons:

Terrible and unsafe experience. There were loud disturbances and fighting in the hallways, and the hotel has absolutely no security. When we asked the front desk for help, the receptionist refused to assist, stating she didn't want to put her life in danger, and told us to call 911 instead. If you are looking for a safe and managed place to stay, avoid this hotel completely.

Waste of money.
Pros:

Close to stores

Cons:

I was charged a smoking fee even though I did not smoke in room. No physical evidence or smoke sensor alert. Manager refused to refund deposit even though there was absolutely no evidence of smoking.

Pros:

Location good, near everything. Room was spacious had a nice kitchen. Full fridge a pleasant surprise. Bed comfortable, just a mattress on a platform but I prefer a firmer bed, just wish there was one more pillow for comfort, would have asked but doubt it would have been available.

Cons:

There was an odor of Marijuana throughout the halls at least not the room. Know it is non smoking motel and aware some might have medicinal issues, but perhaps they should also insist on non vaping inside or at least at a designated comfort area. No seating outdoors, full unemptied trash at coffee stand area, clerks at reception either unfriendly but at least not nasty, although one literally barked at us on our arrival back to our room in the early evening - here we are, two seniors, and she literally yells at us, "What room!" Upon our entry. My partner said, "Third floor, since people were about and he didn't want to say which room for safety- that whole scenario could have been handled more "reception friendly" The night reception didn't even look up from their phone. The one receptionist in the AM and upon arrival was pleasant but spoke so fast she was incoherent at times. Empty vending machines. Coffee awful.
