King bed was very comfortable and a recliner in the room was bonus. Room was large and has a strong cleaning product smell. Bathroom was small with sink outside the bathroom. Breakfast had everything you could want. Staff was very pleasant.

Perfect for overnight stay which is all we needed. But would have been just as good for a several day stay, clean and spacious room. Walking distance (short fee minutes) for meals. Pretty sure it was a 65 inch TV. Fridge microwave great water temp and pressure in shower . Right off interstate and fuel station on other side of parking lot ,Great price and great value. Next time up that way on a trip we plan on staying there again,

The room was clean but smelled like cigarette smoke and most of everything was old inside of the room aside from the tv, the bed was comfortable, the staff was super nice and friendly. The place is going under renovation so hopefully others will have a better experience than us

Was good for an overnight. The beds were clean and comfortable. Hotel is in process of making updates. Our air conditioner was dirty. My husband cleaned off the blower area and wiped down the filter. The are was quiet. We grabbed bagels, apples and bananas to go for breakfast. The price was excellent for an overnight.

Place was under renovation; room was quiet and everything worked as it should. Walked across the parking lot to get a decent breakfast, about what one would expect from a foreigner owned budget motel these days as customer service is generally not their forte. We got some sleep done so that was good.

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. One was noisy when sitting on it and rolling over. The room was quiet and air conditioned. The lobby and hallways were not air conditioned and smelled musty. Breakfast room was small. It was nice enough to sit outside at a picnic table. It really has a good price point.
