8/10 Good
"The staff was great, very helpful when we had to bail from a nightmare VRBO rental. The breakfast offerings were pretty meager but acceptable. My mine issue was paying $44 a night to park in the motel lot. Mind you, this wasn’t in a city but in the middle of nowhere. Otherwise it was fine."
