I've done several rental runs on $15 weekend rates at this location recently to build up some One Two Free days. There is no EA or ES here; it's strictly Emerald Counter. They're a licensee location, so they seem to not participate in the Executive free reserved upgrade benefit--when making a test reservation with or without my Executive number, I see no difference in the price. They also require you to sign a paper rental agreement at the counter.

So, reserving Intermediates for the cheapest One Two Free-qualifying rentals without an Executive Selection, it seemed like I was doomed to drive Sebrings and HHRs. Fortunately, I know a few of the CSRs, and being that I've been renting on weekends in the middle of Alaska's super-dead winter season, I was basically given the choice of the best things on the lot, such as:

Nissan Rogue
Nissan Murano
Chevy Silverado
Buick Lucerne CXL AWD (nice ride but underpowered)
Chevy Equinox LTZ

So, nothing phenomenal, but certainly better than your basic midsize!
