Good enough, but some improvements needed…..
Pros:

This is a nice motel. It’s functional, clean and well situated. The staff is pleasant and helpful, Breakfast is meh but there are good places within walking breakfar to get a decent breakfast.

Two very specific criticisms:

Housekeeping only comes every other day. so for a 2 night stay, the room is never refreshed. This was an annoyance and something I wish we knew before checking in.

The pool area needs attention. It could be very nice, However, there is only one (faded) umbrella and one table with chairs. The flower containers are empty. Given that it features prominently in the marketing photos, the pool area should be upgraded.
