The room was comfortable, the carpet had large stains which made us feel like we had to have footwear on. But the bed and other accommodations were good! We found another group and got to chat with them instead of staying in room. We’d stay here again

Liked: Staff & service
You could easily find something healthy to eat. We had cereal and yogurt. The parking lot was dominated by large trucks - tough to find a safe spot. The rooms were small but clean and looked like it had been given a recent facelift. The exterior of the building needs cleaning up - a little shabby looking. The price as about right though.

The people were nice. The service was great, and there was an *actual* Continental breakfast (sausage, eggs, coffee, etc) rather than a sad frozen burrito like most motels.
