Our stay included two kids and everyone was very happy. It's a good value for the price and it's close to everything. We liked Boomer's Drive In for food which was close by. The gentleman who checked us in was helpful and the beds were comfortable.

Better than I expected. Clean, quiet, safe and convenient. Good breakfast and friendly, helpful staff. Easy check-in and out. Would definitely stay again. Only issue was excess cleaning materials odor which cleared up with A/C fan on.

Old carpets, but room itself was very clean and spacious. Towels and bedding were very white with fresh clean scent. Even the tub and bathroom fan were clean. Much less freeway noise inside than I would have expected based on the location. Appreciated the fridge, in-room coffee maker, access to microwave in lobby, and impressively complete breakfast options compared to typical continental these days.

For the price point, the hotel exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly both upon arrival and check out. The room was spacious, beds comfortable. Everything was clean. The only small detail was the smell of the cleaners used was quite prominent, but I'd rather that than unclean. We were on the ground floor, and it was quiet. Plenty of parking. The breakfast bar has all the basics you need to start your day. If passing through again I'd rebook here.
