Liked: Good location. You get what you pay for.
Disliked: Odd smell in the room. No air flow, no full body mirror.

Passable

Very poor

Good

Liked: Staff accommodated our request for early check-in which helped us a lot with the kids. Has parking and its free. Thank you!
Disliked: Just need to fix the bath soap, shampoo and conditioner dispensers, very minor but essential. And please provide bottled drinking water. Thank you!

Exceptional

Great interior, inconvenient transit

Liked: The rooms looked great on the inside, with a very cohesive decoration scheme and nice furniture. There was a good amount of space in the 2-Queen room, with plenty of storage, a usable desk, and a separate sitting area. The King Suite (now listed as the Romantic Jacuzzi Suite) was amazing.
Disliked: The stairs up to the 2nd floor were metal that got slick in the rain (yes, it rained - bad luck), which made me nervous going up and down with kids and luggage. The parking lot was pretty cramped, although there was always a spot available when I needed it (but in general, I'm not a fan of having to pay for parking upfront not knowing if you'll even be able to use it). I didn't feel unsafe walking around near the motel, but there's not much in easy walking distance, and the roads are pretty busy.
