"Overall, our stay was comfortable for one night, and the bed was comfortable enough to get a good night's sleep. The location was convenient, and it served its purpose for a short stay. Unfortunately, the cleanliness was well below expectations. The room didn't appear to have been cleaned thoroughly, which took away from the overall experience. With better attention to housekeeping, this motel could be a much more enjoyable place to stay. It was okay for a quick overnight stop, but I hope...
