Everything was top notch and the breakfast was as exceptional as others have noted. Perfect place for someone who needs a room for a short stay and then have easy access to the Interstate.
The room was very clean. Front desk staff friendly. Easy stay. No complaints. We were driving across the country and needed an overnight stop. We hadnt stayed in the area before. There is food nearby (even a few places that stay open very late) and it seemed like a safe area. Very happy with it all
Very clean. Friendly staff. We stayed 1 night over Christmas holidays traveling cross country to see family. Liked it so much we booked it again for the way back. I was surprised by how clean it was. They had snacks downstairs. Coffee out all the time. Breakfast was good. Local food good. Parking was easy and staff were nice. But mainly I was happy with how clean it was.
Everything was clean and concise for a comfortable stays. No frills…which is just how I wanted it. Breakfast sausage was dry, but all other offerings were spot on! For an economical stay, this is a perfect choice!
