New Stanton

About as spartan as a motel can be and still stay recommendable. Front desk staff are friendly and helpful, rooms are generally clean, and unlike (say) the Budget Inn across the street, your fellow guests are mostly budget-conscious travellers rather than homeless transients or prostitutes with their clients. But the building is comically dated and practically screaming out for proper renovations. Rooms each come with a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, microwave and mini-fridge, and coffee pot, and free WiFi covers the entire property. Only coffee; luckily the highway interchange — and practically every fast-food and casual-dining chain restaurant you can imagine — is just a few short blocks away.

Roadside chain hotel with all the standard amenities: business center, gym, heated indoor pool, free WiFi propertywide; mini-fridges and microwaves in each room; free hot breakfast in the morning.
