Clean room. Staff and parking was good. Breakfast was not good. Very little choices. Bad tasting coffee and was just warm. Not hot. Not the hotel or the staffs fault but had a very loud guest in the room next to us.

No service at front desk. Breakfast not good, Bath room in lobby very dirty. Room was OK.
Our check in was smooth, we arrived super early and was allowed to get our room immediately. This was great since we were on the road for a number of hours. They were pleasant to deal with.
Check in person very nice and helpful. Breakfast wasn't set up as there was only one other guest besides me. It was offered by manager but i declined

Don't judge a book by its cover! The service at Briarwood is courteous and diligent. The outside and surrounding area might be a little run down, but the owners keep the rooms clean and relatively updated. I've stayed in major chains that haven't kept the rooms as nice and charged way more per night. The walls had a fresh coat of paint, wood-laminate floors, larger mini-fridge, microwave, and the bed was comfortable. I would stay here again, especially at these prices!
Overall pretty quiet, clean comfortable room.Of course you get the occasional idiot that cant use an indoor voice, and cannot close a door properly. That is not the property's fault. The only real drawbacks were very poor "continental breakfast", and the fact their ice machine was not working, and hasn't for quite some time, from the looks of things. A big plus is, they are pet friendly
This motel is very run down. The staff barely speaks English. The coffee maker in my room didn’t work and half its parts were missing. The water in the shower was barely warm and the hallways had kid bikes everywhere. At least the air conditioning and tv worked.
This is an older hotel and you can tell the new owners are trying to fix things little by little. However, the fixtures in the bathrooms are old and leaky. The bedroom furniture was solid enough and there were plenty of lamps. Bed and pillows were comfortable and the A/C worked fine. They had a color tv but not packed with channels. We didn't do the continental breakfast so I cant comment on that. They did have a vending machine and an Ice maker which is good. Coffee pot in room was a 1-cup with very limited supplies.
Nobody on staff late night, had to ring bell. Smell of Thau food constantly, not much of a breakfast. No spoons, knives, forks, three cups, no coffee throughout the day, and no napkins.
