“What I appreciate most is the bright, clean room that this motel strives to offer. Its proximity to transient services necessitates monitored parking, yet inside, the accommodating staff and tidy spaces offer a sense of calm despite the location's drawbacks; soundproofing upgrades would greatly enhance its appeal.”
