I was here for a race and wasn't looking for a lot of amenities - just the basics at an affordable cost. This property met those requirements and more. There were several of us completing a 100 mile race staying here and when the staff found out, they went above and beyond to get us a hot breakfast an hour earlier than their normal start time. I've never had a hotel do that. So grateful! Room simple but sufficient. Fridge cold upon entrance, also appreciated to put my stuff in. My 1st floor room request was accommodated. Only "complaint" was not being able to use key card to access outside doors because they were exit only. Definitely would have been great to park right outside the door and enter/exit but it was a minor inconvenience. All the staff very friendly and helpful. Located conveniently to highway with quick access to downtown. Would stay here again.

This trip was made to explore the area so we didnt plan to spend alot of time in the hotel. This was a convenient and very clean place. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was very large and clean as was the bath. There were some strange holes in the bath and the door trim was coming off and rotting on the bottom by the tub. The breakfast was standard fare. I would recommend this location with the understanding that at this price point you are not getting Embassy Suites. You get what you pay for and this was very acceptable.

Positives: The room was clean. The vending machine decently priced. Good biscuits and gravy and muffin and juice options The Negative: The small beds were full sized and sitting on something similar to a filing caninet. There was no carpet and it felt weird walking on the bare floor. The Bathroom toilet flushed loudly and the doors outside our room shut loudly.

Loved the nice staff and breakfast. Other than the banging on my door by some staff saying they’ll call the cops because of smoke coming from my room at midnight. When it was a couple doors down who was eventually caught. Kind of looks sketchy on the outside but much better when you get inside your room.
