“For a modest motel downtown, it delivers more than expected, especially with its updated rooms and surprisingly good refrigerator. The breakfast leans heavily on carbs, but the waffle maker is a nice touch. I think it's a solid choice if you're seeking straightforward comfort without breaking the bank.”
