“I noticed rooms have been redone, with beds receiving high marks for comfort. While the neighborhood's condition left something to be desired, conveniences like Starbucks and restaurants are right next door. I think the difference in room décor and surrounding activity levels depending on which side of the motel you're on is pretty noticeable.”
