Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: business
Positive: The room and adjoining bathroom was small, but perfect for us two adults. The dining table and two chairs by the entrance and window were great for sharing snacks and meals. The coffee machine down in the office was wonderful when it was available (mornings only)
Negative: The lighting for the bathroom mirror wasn't quite bright enough.
Summary: As a budget-friendly motel, it was perfect!
