Nice room size, but could be better
Pros:

Room size was good. Having microwave and some cutlery in the room helped.
Though not required, but having electric blanket in the room was another nice to have amenity.

Cons:

Upstairs room with only stairs as the option, Not much luggage no senior in our group so it was manageable. It would be better to know this in advance for someone frequently travelling with kids / aged parents.
Wi-Fi was not stable, even the whatsapp call had issue with connection before dropping.
Cutlery was provided, but we are asked to clean wash used cutlery, not exactly what you expect at a hotel.
Avoided motels and lodge while searching and ended up with these rules was not an experience we expected.

Mmm.....
Pros:

The staff was friendly and the room was clean.

Cons:

I didn't like the fact that people live there on housing, had a random guy who lives in the room couple rooms next to mine knock on my room door asking for a ride at 8:30pm, and then the drinking heavily outside the motel till the early morning. Then waking up to police looking for another person living there.
Feel sorry for the hotel owners as that could make their business look bad.
