It's exactly what the name says it is - a budget motor inn (AKA Motel). I would say the place is just average - check in was generally straightforward, check out was easy, no frills with anything. They only had a smoking room available and it was fine, they seem to try to keep the rooms clean. Shower was actually pretty good, with great water pressure. The room lacked any sort of desk to do some work, a table or something would probably have bumped this rating up one.
But really, can't complain - if I was in the area and I needed a cheap place to stay for 1-2 nights, I'd come back here. A bonus is it's generally close to the major highways in the Palisades so though the area immediately around the motel is a bit sparse, any retail/shopping/activities are within 10-20 minutes away.
