Not bad for a motel (room entry outside). The room was huge which was a plus for us. There is a restaurant on-site but it was very pricey so we left to get food. Parking during the day was fine, but there was no parking into the evening hours. The AC for the room next door was on our balcony and it was very loud all night.
