There the door didn't seal all the way (light would show through around the doorframe), and it could probably use some paint. But all went well, and I'd probably stay there again.

They need to use non-toxic cleaning products!
That was unfortunately one of the worst nights we have spent in a hotel. The worst part was the chemical smells that permeated everything. Its great that they clean things, but we couldn't even breathe without feeling sick. We tried to air out the room for a while while sitting there being very cold with the door and windows open, but it did no good. We talked to a nice employee, but she said there were no more rooms available, so we couldn't change, although I'm sure they use the same cleaning products in all the rooms. It was late and we were tired and we only booked there in the first place because it was the cheapest room in town, because we only booked a week in advance and every good deal was already gone. And it was $300! Way too much! And the bed was horrible. It was old and way too soft and bouncy and every time we moved it made sounds. I thought it was the springs squeaking, but my husband thought it was plastic under the sheets. The furniture was old and shabby, the walls needed painting, the comforter was old and crummy, and everything smelled like strong chemicals. It was almost impossible to sleep. The shower worked fine. But why was there only one washcloth and one small towel for 2 people? There were 2 bath towels. If it was $100 a night, it would still be awful but that would make a little more sense, but we paid $300 with no changes allowed! Outrageous. Will never stay there again. Please use non-toxic, unscented products.

Motel is very rundown, with tape on the floor, scuff marks on the walls. It’s drab and depressing. No artwork on walls. It was clean, but just very old and in need of repair. No USB ports to charge my phone. Not worth the $200 a night!

Place was eh.
Good for one night. My wife and I had one room; son-in-law, daughter, and 18 month old grandson in the room next door. When sitting on the foot of the bed mattress, the top of the matress flipped up because of the weight causing us to almost fall. No tissues in the room. Room next door had a light that went on inside the room when there was movement. Caused them to stay awake most of the night.

Relatively low cost and reasonable accommodations
Easy, quick check in and check out. Quiet for a downtown location. Room was clean and reasonably well appointed. Only negative is the room needs to be repainted; several areas on the walls were badly marred.
