Property was clean & staff were friendly. Stayed for one night. Continental breakfast was a bit beyond basic - included fresh fruit - and the usual cereal, toast, waffles along with sausage, scrambled egg whites, and biscuits/gravy. A problem with the (apparently recently renovated) bathroom causes the lower score on the facilities.

I've stayed here before and really appreciated the friendliness. That was true again this time. Affordable rates, nice rooms, well maintained, easy check in, good coffee. I don't mind paying a pet fee for a welcoming place to stay,
