Met my expectations. Hotels.com randomly booked me a smoking room but they were able to give me a non smoking room at check in. If you’re sensitive to smoke, I would look somewhere else. The room was large and met our needs. But again, it’s an economy motel so you’re not going to get a whole lot beyond a bed to sleep on and a bathroom. Staff were friendly enough and helpful when my key card didn’t work (magnetic strip cancelled out being too close to my phone).
