I just needed a bed and a shower before an early flight the next day. Rolled the dice on this "cheap" motel and was seriously impressed for what I paid. Clearly the owner recently refurbished. The lobby and halls were kinda scary, but my actual room was totally updated. Fresh paint, obviously new furniture (no signs of wear, no nicks or scratches, etc). Power outlets had USB and USB-C ports. The bathroom - new counter, new sink, new fixtures, new toilet, everything... The floors are laminate and the walls didn't have any artwork, so it doesn't feel "homey". But I really didn't care. My room was super clean, well prepped and the guy at the front desk was very gracious (Mohammed was his name)... No exaggeration that a normally budget-friendly hotel down the street was MORE than 10x what I paid here (Lalapalooza is going on). I gave 5 stars because it simply exceeded my expectations for what I paid. Definitely a 5-star value, even if it's not the Ritz or the Waldor!!
