I can see how the floors might be an issue for some people—they’re made of inexpensive aluminum panels—but the room I stayed in was fairly clean. The AC and heat are definitely dated, but they did work as expected. The staff was outstanding (10/10) and the breakfast was also a solid 10/10\. If needed, I would stay here again. ##### Ryan Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara Sep 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Clean, fresh linens daily, comfortable bed, AC, easy parking, convenient location ##### Tara Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise Nov 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Staff were so friendly!!

It was new so everything was clean and in excellent condition. The breakfast was good and had many options. My room faced the interstate and the hotel was right next to the interstate so you could hear the road noise, but I was able to put the fan on the AC heat unit and let it run all night and it acted as a sound machine and blocked out the noise. I tried to get a room at the back of the hotel away from the interstate, but they didn’t have any available. Also, the hot water did not get real hot…. It was lukewarm at best, but I was able to take a shower however I prefer to take hot showers. I let management know when I checked out and they were very nice about it and said that they would check on it however, no discounts were offered. ##### Lisa D Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place for the family ##### William Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gayle Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property is great, clean, and staff is friendly ##### Gayle Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Esther May 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly staff and clean rooms. ##### Esther Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia Jul 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect stay…Updated and very clean.
