Check in was quick, the room was clean and the bed was soft. I’d definitely stay there again. Parking was crowded, but still a good quality stay especially for the price in that area.

The room was old and felt dirty. There were hairs in the bathroom and on some of the towels. It was loud with highway noise. The bed and pillows were uncomfortable.
