I had a decent stay at this 2-star motel. The refurbished room was surprisingly clean and at half the price of many options in the area. However, the initial look of the place wasn't great, and my wife was not impressed, especially with the dark bedspreads. Once we removed those, her mood improved significantly. It's not a 4-star hotel, but if you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and budget-friendly spot, this could be a suitable choice.

I was pleasantly surprised by this 2-star motel. The refurbished rooms were clean and offered great value at half the price of others in the area. While the initial appearance could use some updates, including the doors, it turned out to be a comfortable stay. If you're looking for luxury, this isn't it, but it's a solid choice if you want a clean, friendly place to rest your head.

The refurbished room was clean and newly updated, which made a big difference in my overall experience. However, the dark-pattern bedspreads weren't to my wife's taste, but we removed them and were happier.

I found this motel to be surprisingly good for a 2-star place. It was clean and newly refurbished at a great price, especially compared to other options in the area. The first impression wasn't ideal due to worn doors and dark bedspreads, which upset my wife initially. However, by the end of our stay, she was satisfied after we removed the bedspreads. If you're looking for something upscale, this isn't it, but it's definitely a solid choice for a budget-friendly stay.

I had a surprisingly great experience at this motel. It's a clean and refurbished place, perfect for a simple stay without breaking the bank. While the decor left something to be desired, especially the dark bedspreads, I found the room comfortable enough after removing them. It's essential to manage your expectations; this isn't a lavish hotel, but there's a lot to appreciate for the price.

This motel offers surprisingly good value for a two-star accommodation. Although the initial impression may not be great, the refurbished rooms are clean and provide a comfortable stay. I did face some challenges with the decor, which my wife found unappealing. However, by removing the bedspreads, we both felt much better about our experience. This place is perfect for those seeking a simple and clean lodging without breaking the bank.
