We stayed for a night on our recent road trip. Our room was clean and a little bigger than other motels. It was nice to have the sitting area in the bathroom. The breakfast was good and we enjoyed the fancy coffee machine. The property felt safe and we would stay there again next time we're in the area.

No frills hotel that is all you need for a one or two night stay. Room was spacious, gym on site had one eliptical, treadmill, and bike and full free weight set which is nice. Microwave and dridgecin room is a plus. Breakfast avaliable, nothing to my liking, but many others were eating. I infomed the front desk on check out that I had gotten a soda from the vending machine (and brought it full up) on site, and that it had expired two months ago, I know they're not the ones who stock them so i wasnt expecting a refund, bit thouggt they might give me info on who to contact or a address it, they didn't.
