Ultra budget properties vary greatly in quality. Most are decent, no frills rooms with basic amenities and are usually older motels that show some wear and tear. This one falls on the below average, but not offensive, end of the spectrum. With a little research, you can probably do better for your money. It has a nice little pool off to the side of the parking lot, which could benefit from a bit more attention to clean the bugs off the water surface and the cigarette butts from the surrounding ground. It clearly shows its age, which is not to say that it is unclean, it is simply a bit more run down. The shower curtain had mold, a problem with many of the lesser hotels of this level. More annoying was that the television in our room was nothing but snow. Only the Disney channel came in clearly enough to avoid squinting while watching. If internet access is important to you, be sure to stress that when you check in. The hotel has free wireless, but the woman who checked me in told me that it doesn't reach all the rooms. She put me close to the router and we had no problems with it. If I were in one of the rooms with no Internet access this would be a much less favorable review. (I have a "we offer internet but not in your room" pet peeve.)
Also, I do not understand why it always seems that the hotels that offer the cheapest and worst breakfasts are also the ones that post big signs insisting you do not take the wonder bread slices out of the breakfast area. We just came from a hotel that was in the same price range that had fresh fruit, yogurt, waffles, various cereals and boiled eggs and which had no problem with letting guests eat their breakfast in their rooms.
The breakfast area here had no seating to speak of. The rooms also do not have in-room coffee makers, which would be a great improvement. They do have microwaves, however, so if you bring coffee bags or instant-- as I always do-- you can have coffee in your room. I would prefer that if breakfast is really cutting into their bottom line that they raise the price of each room $2. I don't know about anyone else, but $2 more or less is too small to ever be the final deciding factor in what hotel I choose.
