Good option if you’d like to save your money compared to overpriced hotels closer to the beach area
Pros:

Decent option to stay for couple of nights. Motel was refurbished couple of years ago, so it looks better compared to other motels around

Cons:

We had couple of small issues first and second day, like there was no cold water in a faucet, and our room key didn’t word in a second day. But everything was quickly resolved by motel staff

Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Parking was full so I had to park out in the street. Floors were filthy. Turned our feet black after showering. Room was too dark. On our 2nd day, they never cleaned the room nor brought towels.

Low price = low quality
Pros:

The price was what I liked & that it was mostly clean. Not much else.

Cons:

Loud road noise, bums in the parking lot, no pool & the staff was not friendly. I had to ask for enough towels for the room. They left us 3 towels, 1 washcloth & 1 hand towel for 4 people for a 5 day stay. It was pretty clean but the walls had some obvious mess on it in a couple spots. The mattress cover was covered in long hairs.

very nice for the price
Pros:

the rooms were comfortable for the price and the place seems to be pretty modern. Very close to all the major hubs as well. However, the location itself is not that great you're going to have to travel if you want something to do.

Cons:

On a busy night the parking can be full and because the lot is so small if any other guest parking is less than perfect then it's almost impossible to park next to another car. No daily room service.
