"The motel was quiet and clean and safe. The room was a little overpriced, pretty small for 2 beds but good enough. The expedia page says "Coffee and tea in common areas".

Also, there was no mention about a $50 deposit other than a handwritten note taped to the glass which I didn't notice until after the card...
