Read it your way

This affordable motel offers budget-friendly room rates right next to a Chili's restaurant and shopping center. Guests praise the helpful front desk staff who loan iPhone charging cubes and hand out extra towels. However, the property suffers from unsteady wifi that requires a personal hotspot to work, and traffic is audible from parking outside guest doors. 1043
