Very nice man in the office. The room 104 was large and clean. Only issue I had was around 11 pm a family with some kids checked into and were out in room above me so those small kids running around was loud until they settled down. I would stay again
Easy convenient check in. Clean room. The tub did not have a plug to take a bath but otherwise comfortable and meeting all needs. Lots of franchise food options but we drove four miles to Michael’s for an OK dinner. Trying to support local restaurants…
A no frills hotel that was clean, comfortable, close to tons of restaurants. A great value for the price. No carpet for the allergy travelers which was nice after 2 weeks of carpeted hotels.
