Great location, friendly staff, clean rooms, comfortable bed, easy parking and quiet. The free breakfast was minimal but adequate, egg fluff with cheese and bacon, breads and a few cereal choices. The free coffee in the lobby 24/7 was nice too.

Room was very nice and clean. Great to have refrigerator & microwave in room. Breakfast was convenient with nice options. Scrambled eggs were fair…. Don’t really like the powdered version but bacon on was very good & crispy and hot chocolate was excellent. Great place to stay at very reasonable price.

Overall it was an okay place to sleep. Staff was friendly and kind. Room was outdated for the price, the mini fridge was loud and kept me up all night, the bathroom door didn't close all the way and we asked for new sheets because it looked like we're stains on ours. Probably would pay a little more for a nicer hotel.
