“This older motel provides a convenient location with a newly launched breakfast program, where I particularly enjoyed the scrambled eggs; it is also conveniently located near a restaurant. The renovated rooms feature upgrades such as large TVs and LED mirrors, making it a calm place to stay. For a simple, clean experience, this is an acceptable choice.”
