The motel's location is another strong point, being well-placed near groceries and common amenities.

The softness of the mattresses received mixed reviews: while some found it too soft or bouncy, others commented on beds being too hard or uncomfortable. Issues with bed quality were also mentioned, implying a need for improvement in this area.
