I should have done more research, but this was not what I expected. If this were categorized as a 1 or 2 star hotel, I would give it a 5 star review. I definitely would not call it a 3 star hotel.
Pros: the staff was friendly and efficient, everything was clean, the exterior is freshly painted, and the interior has been updated.
Cons: itās a motel, not a hotel. I should have seen that by the photos, but I was in a hurry. Itās not in a great part of town and I didnāt feel great leaving my vehicle there overnight (definitely take EVERYTHING inside). Being a motel, the outside noise is louder than a hotel, since you have 2 exterior walls. The AC is about 8 inches from the bed and blows right on the person sleeping in that spot, which makes it tricky to make everyone in the room comfortable. Itās also very, very loud. Mixed opinions on mattress comfortability in my group, but you canāt please everyone anywhere, so Iād say that one is neutral.
Also, breakfast is brown bag grab-and-go, but does include a microwaveable breakfast sandwich and yogurt, which was better than I expected from a bag.
All in all, I did not have a bad experience for what this is: a low budget motel. Itās just not what I expected from a 3 star hotel.
