“This motel struck me as a particularly thoughtful place, more akin to staying in a family home than a typical roadside stop. Cleanliness is clearly a priority, and the little extras, like the in-room kitchenette and provided toiletries, are a definite plus. It's evident someone has invested real care into making this a comfortable and welcoming space.”
