Motor lodge with little frills but still beats chain hotels.
Pros:

Good parking, oversized room (main area had bed, kitchenette, and bathroom; standalone bedroom with just a bed + tv; and the entry area was set-up like a living room with softa, table, and tv).

Cons:

Lodge is in the process of new ownership + name change, which made it a little confusing as Google/Lodge name didn't synch up. There were all types of furniture in/near the parking area. Our room had a door to the outside but it was lacking a step down and the back area was barren. The kitchen area was not well appointed but I wasn't looking for a chef kitchen.

Pros:

I guess the plus was that it is being renovated, and its somewhat close to town.

Cons:

The bed was so dirty, we found rocks, dirt and hair in the bed sheet where your feet would be. The floor was very dirty as well, who knows how long it had been dirty, I put a towel down to stand on and the towel was brown after being on the floor. Although the rooms are being renovated, they're just so dark. When I brought up the cleanliness issues, the staff was helpful in addressing them, however, I was told I would get somewhat of a discount, the discount turned out to be $35 for a $300 stay. Very disappointing, I will not stay here again nor will I recommend this place.

Alright
Pros:

Rooms were clean and recently updated.

Cons:

Lots of noise from the street and guests above. Lights from the street easily get by the blinds and there are no real curtains,
Gym is only open from 9-9 and I am not sure where the advertised hot tub is?

Pros:

Clean, good location

Cons:

The soundproofing is terrible. The people living upstairs have pets, and I was woken up at least seven times last night. I’m not someone who wakes up easily, but last night was truly like a nightmare, it felt like my room was shaking from an earthquake.

Pros:

We asked for a room on the ground floor, but none was available. Instead, we were offered the suite as an upgrade. It was a very clean room with comfortable beds, a kitchenette, and intriguing artwork. We had a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Pros:

Such a wonderful deal for all the room we had. We had two full bedrooms and a full kitchen, the AC worked GREAT, and we had amenities from town with coffee in the morning!

Cons:

It was a little farther from "downtown" than I would have liked, but it was still a great place.
