“This roadside motel offers basic overnight lodging; however, some rooms suffer from noise and cleanliness issues, according to reports. A responsive owner can make stays secure and handle billing concerns, which is a definite advantage. For a simple stopover, it could suffice, but be sure to confirm conditions upon arrival.”
