The room was very clean. Really liked that the lamps had charging ports for devices. The beds were comfortable and the sound from the highway wasn't bad when sleeping. I would like access to more trash cans, there was just a small one. Overall, a great stay when we were in a pinch and needed something quick for an overnight stay.

Room wasn a little nicer than expected, but still very much a motel. Much quieter than expected, given it's right next to the highway.
