"Convenient location. Tons of contractors stay there but they are pretty quiet as they crash out early. The cleanliness also depends on the guests; they sometimes overflow the garbage cans with trash, some guests don't pick up their dog's messes. Front desk staff pretty nice. It's not a fancy place, but I sleep well there. Prices are good. Denny's, Burger King are close by...motel has coffee in the lobby which is nice, too. There is some auto facility next door which can get noisy if you...
