Kevin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The motel was clean and close to nearby shops for groceries and restaurants. It was on a busy street so during the day in the front room you could hear the traffic. The furniture in the unit was a little worn. The walk in shower in the bathroom was very large which was nice. For being a budget motel it was good overall.
