First, I keep coming back here when I travel to see my parents. Value is outstanding! Big rooms that are a bit outdated, but the bed and pillows are super comfortable. Coffee is outstanding. But the highlight of the trip is the warm welcome from the lady at the front desk! It feels like coming home!

The manager on duty for my stay was very accommodating. They made the stay stress free and easy at check-in. I didn't actually have the chance to enjoy the breakfast myself. I would recommend to anyone in the area who is looking for a budget friendly hotel stay with a complimentary breakfast and excellent service.
