Staff seemed to be inconvenienced when checking in and out. There was no tv remote in the room and none was provided for our stay, so we had no tv to watch. Breakfast was ok.

This was a great experience. It was a very cute hotel. They had a playground for the kids, a dog park for the dog, and a nice breakfast. The staff was fantastic and attentive. It was a great deal. The only downside is it’s near the expressway. So you do have expressway noise. But it was totally worth it. The overall experience was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this.

No frills

An older property in serious need of an overhaul. That being said, the room was a decent size, bedding was comfortable, hot free breakfast. An OK cheap stay just off the interstate.

Nice and affordable stay, not too far to the center. Breakfest was not the best and the place was a bit outdated and loud but other than that I’d stay here again for that price.

Outside below average, inside better.

The building is run down and the entrance was hard to get into. Road Construction everywhere. The inside was pleasant enough. Nothing to brag about. The lock that turns on our door didnt work for extra security. It seemed like this place was a location that construction workers on powerline works stayed. There was a lot of tractor trailer trucks in the parking lot. On a better note the breakfast was nice. Waffles, real eggs, sausage along with the usual continental breakfast items. I more then like would not stay hear again.

Solid choice

This appears to be a solid choice. Not overly fancy but it is clean and the service was good. It is right off the highway and I would stay here again. It was too cold to check out the pool and hot tub but hopefully next time I will have the chance.
