I'm old enough to remember what a real motel (motorhotel) was, where you literally drive your car up to your door. Not much in the way of amenities, and you are not part of an enclosed hotel structure. Nevertheless, the room was fine - clean, everything worked and bathroom facilities obviously recently modernized, new-seeming. Only possible downside to the motel layout is that you are subject to whatever goes on in the parking lot, which on this Friday night included a number of work-trucks with workers congregating after their workday. All was quiet by about 10 pm.. But for the price, it was a good value proposition.
