The motel was a bit challenging to locate, especially since I mixed up the nearby universities. The staff was welcoming and the common area was a nice touch, offering free drinks. However, the room disappointed me due to its size and an awkward bathroom setup. While the location had some conveniences, the price felt too high for what I received.

The room was quite small and didn't match the online photos. The bed took up most of the limited space, and the bathroom door was a glass panel that didn't close properly, making it uncomfortable.

I had a great stay at The Fox. The staff went above and beyond to help us, providing a lot of conveniences like rides and local tips. However, the rooms were quite small, and the lack of closet space was a minor inconvenience. Overall, the place offers solid value for money in a decent area, but be prepared for compact accommodations.
