“Rooms are recently remodeled and reportedly spotless, a big plus for budget-conscious travelers; on top of that, parking is conveniently located right outside the rooms. I think the friendly on-site management elevates this basic motel stop above the competition, especially given the surrounding food options. It's a solid choice when in town.”
