You are paying for what you get. This is no different than a standard Motel 6 and is definitely not a higher-end hotel. That said, the staff was super friendly, and the stay actually exceeded my expectations. Some of the other negative comments are honestly misleading. Don’t expect a five-star experience when you’re staying at a $60-a-night hotel.
