I was skeptical for this motel when I pulled up but it as a pleasant surprise. I was concerned about road noise from nearby I40 but there was none at all. Room was nicely updated. Bed was comfortable. It did take a bit for the AC to get the room cooled down and we were missing some necessities that the front desk quickly corrected. Oh and the fridge runs a little cold— woke up to the mess of a frozen pop 😂 make sure you put those on the bottom shelf!
