"Check in was easy, the room was reasonably comfortable especially for the economy-level price. My refrigerator didn't work, but I was only sleeping for a few hours so it didn't really impact my stay. It was easy to reach off the highway and close to fuel and food options. It covered the basics nicely, even allowing me an extra hour to checkout. I would stay there again."
