The staff is friendly and competent, the rooms clean and up to date. The only problem was that my room faced the busy highway, and the truck noise made sleeping difficult.

Parking was easy. Check in was okay. Rooms and beds are comfortable. AC was a little intense when on. Sink is in entry, seperate from bathroom. Hallway carpet needs replacing. Breakfast is available for $7.95 each. It was decent. Overall I would stay again for a short overnight while traveling.

Property and room appeared to be clean however we found a bed bug, confirmed by the front desk, on our bed. Hotel was sold out so no other room was available; had to find an alternate option at midnight.

The front desk helpful and welcoming. Great for pet stay. The second floor pet area, was a little difficult for ours, elevator or steps. Small grassy area past parking lot for pet. The room itself was very quiet. Slight odor? The king bed was extremely comfortable. Shower nice. Breakfast for additional fee.

Very clean room- bed a bit hard- walls are pretty thin, can hear alot going on in halls and next door. Poor design of shower, you have to get inside to turn it on! Be prepared for a shocking wake up! Staff was friendly. Overall decent place for the $.
