Staff was good. Toilet in room would not flush entirely and the front desk did give me a plunger to plunge the toilet. After a few minutes of trying to get toilet to flush properly, I went back to front desk and they did relocate my wife and me to another room

Our room was quite comfortable although a little on the small side. I chose the hotel because it had a no pets policy (I have allergies) and thus was willing to go to a hotel further off the highway. But the location proved to be good, as there were lots of restaurants to choose from in the immediate vicinity. Service and parking were fine.
