One of the most accurately-named hotels I've stayed at. Rooms are average sized, beds were comfy enough, bathrooms kinda poorly lit, TV worked. Breakfast in the morning was missing coffee and the orange juice was orange drink. Can be a little loud from traffic noise during the evening, so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

It was a normal motel but the room we were in had unpleasant smell and the heater wasn’t working. Overall, still recommend for the price but they need to check on their equipment more often.
