Parking is good. Area has few dining options at least on weekday evenings. Road construction in front made walking about a bit awkward but that will likely disappear in a few days.

Far exceeded my expectations

Check-in was smooth and fast. The room was large and either very recently renovated or extremely well maintained. Cleanliness was flawless. One trivial, less than ideal comment. The rooms on the west side of the building do not have adjacent parking. In this case, the parking lot is behind the next door business. It is not a long walk but if you have limited mobility, you had best let the hotel know in advance not to assign you one of those rooms.

Exceeded Expectations

Did not expect much because I avoid motels. This was absolutely the cleanest and most comfortable stay on our 3300 mile trip. I am trying to find reasons to stay there again
