The only suggestion we could make, is the need for a separate sink to wash your hands.

The actual room size was good. It had a small kitchenette with full size fridge which was a plus. Unfortunately the plug was too small for the sink, the bathroom was too small to swing a cat. Nowhere to put anything in the bathroom, no basin or cupboard, no mirror, nowhere to put soap. The coffee etc hadn't been replenished before we moved in and room wasn't serviced while we were there. Only stayed for 2 days though. The motel was in an excellent spot though.
