I’ll be honest, when we first pulled into the parking lot, our expectations were somewhere between “survive the night” and “check for witness protection cameras.” The exterior didn’t exactly scream luxury getaway.
Fortunately, the experience improved immediately at check-in. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming, proving once again that you should never judge a motel by its parking lot.
The room was clean and comfortable, and the bed earned high marks for delivering a solid night’s sleep. The blackout drapes were championship caliber, successfully convincing us that sunrise was merely a rumor.
The only oddity was the floor. Walking across it felt like traversing a giant rubber playground mat, accompanied by a squeak soundtrack that announced our every movement. If stealth was your goal, this was not the room for covert operations.
The biggest disappointment was the toiletries. The bottles were so small and basic they appeared to have been designed for people with extraordinarily low hygiene ambitions.
A pleasant surprise was Chacos Restaurant next door. The food was better than expected, and motel guests receive a 10% discount, which made dinner feel like a reward for overcoming our initial parking lot anxiety.
Overall, this place delivered a clean room, a comfortable bed, friendly service, and a surprisingly good meal next door. The outside may cause a raised eyebrow, but the stay itself was a pleasant surprise.
