Very expensive for a room pretty similar - but smaller - than at a Motel 6. I guess having an indoor elevator accounts for the high price. $194 a night and you don’t even get a throwaway cup for water. Amenities were subpar at this price point.

We had a great stay! The room was nice and clean. The hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. We didn’t get a chance to eat at the restaurant in the lobby, but the menu I saw seemed to have some great dishes. The location was great, with many restaurants, stores, and gas stations nearby. Would definitely stay here again.
