Ideal spot for solo travelers

The room was super clean, my biggest area of concern in a motel. I loved that I didn’t need a card to unlock the door. just a simple code made it easy and convenient. It was a refreshing change. Plus, even though they were in the middle of renovations, the noise didn't bother me at all. It just felt like a cozy haven to unwind after a long day.

It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but still reasonable enough for what you get.

The room was super clean. It had a unique door access system that did not require a card, which made things easy. Staying here felt convenient and hassle-free during my road trip.

The check-in process was confusing. Clear instructions were not provided prior to arrival, which led to some uncertainty on my part.
