I'm a fussy American, and I was pretty impressed. You'll never get that kind of service at a Motel 6. In some ways it was 4 star (very attentive front desk and other staff), and in other ways 2 star (king bed was two twins pushed together, pressure treated wood decor). If you're bothered by scents, I wouldn't recommend it-- for me, the smoke masking lemongrass odor did its job and wasn't too offensive. Strong, though.
I didn't expect an Embassy Suites experience, and for $40 neither should you. Highly enjoyable.
