Pros +
- The location was great and the room was very nice. It was great to have a king-size bed. Also the bar staff was very helpful getting me orange juice for my husband when his blood sugar got too low.
- Location, price and affordability, cool design, friendly staff, open lounge/bar/restaurant with good hours. Quiet rooms!

Cons -
- AWFUL WiFi- we resorted to paying roaming charges on our mobile phone b/c we needed to get online. No phone in room to call to lobby? Very little lounging furniture-even an extra armchair or loveseat would be nice. Name 'Motel One' cud be better:)
- no double double rooms
- Spartan rooms that could easily be improved upon, ie. luggage racks, any decoration, lighting inside room entrance, TV system that works. One desk person (seemed like manager) said we had good view room - view was of us for double buses parked in front.

Great location. Nice lobby. Clean. Price not bad comparatively.
