lobby and dining room are well maintained and very cozy feeling. The king bed room had water spots on ceiling, tub could use a good scrubbing and had hair in bottom, we didn't use. The rest of the room was clean enough. bed was comfortable. Breakfast was the best we experienced over the last 5 days at different facilities.

The staff was very welcoming and professional. I’ve been traveling a lot lately and this was my best stay for the money! It is an older property, but it’s concrete construction so no booming floors as the person in the room around your room stomps around. The pool looked nice but I didn’t use it . Breakfast was pretty standard aside from the excellent homemade cinnamon rolls! Overall drive a half a block further from the highway and stay at a better place!

The check-in process was amazing. There are no elevators but the front desk staff was very helpful. She went out of her way to help us.
The suite we had was spacious and super clean. The rooms are dated and the beds are okay but not very supportive.
Breakfast was nice and warm. Check out was a breeze.
