The Scandia
Property could have been a bit cleaner, I've know that the trains pass by but did not realize so many late at night, tough to sleep. Location is very nice and convenient

Ok motel for the price.
The rooms feel dated and could use some fresh paint. There are broken tiles on the shower wall, and a train passes nearby every three hours, even in the middle of the night, with its horn blaring. However, considering the price, these issues are manageable.
