Low budget motel that's OK for a night but you don't want to hang out in the room

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,003 reviews)
Quick check in. Room was clean. Little smaller than modern rooms. I thought I had a 2 queen room but bed were more of a double size. Good well lit parking. Better than average breakfast for this class of hotel. Waffles, mini waffles, sausage patties, and the normal other stuff. Check in staff was good. Morning staff super friendly. Lady in breakfast area made made everyone welcome with a personal “good morning”. Only thing wrong was age of room size. Good value.
