"Good location, but this is a bare-bones hotel. Don't expect much. I expected better amenities for the price. Didn't like the styrofoam dishes.2015-05-26"

"Room had paper-thin walls. Not only heard the lady on the phone in the next room, I heard the person she was talking to. I had to call the front desk 3 times about noisy guests late at night. Disappointed there was no whirlpool and no decaffeinated coffee at breakfast. Look for another hotel.2015-03-02"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
