The motel was dated, not as clean as it should have been and as one of the most expensive rooms we got on our trip, it would rate at the bottom for value.

Hotel is old. Cleaning is very surface level. Bathroom floor dirty in the corners, etc. crumbs on comforter on one bed and what appeared to be a dirty comforter on the other. Only one younger lady running the show when we arrived. She was very polite and accommodating. You get what you pay for. But I would not pay more than $60/night here. Regardless time of year.
