Not a bad room for a quick night stay. But I wouldn’t want to stay more than one night. It is conveniently located off highway 8 and light rail, which also means there’s a bit of noise, but not the worst I’ve ever heard. The the motel is in fairly decent shape, but nothing to ride home about. And there are next to no amenities. By that I mean, refrigerator or coffee maker in the rooms. The bed is somewhat comfortable. The pillows are horrible.
