The breakfast was minimal. They had 1 large gallon of milk for everyone to share. This was also the same for the Peanut butter. After the last few years and health issues, I thought sharing out of a container was weird at best and unacceptable. We stayed 3 days but did not utilize the breakfast but the first day and none of the community share items.

Our check-in staff member was VERY helpful and informative. The one who took over from her didn’t speak to us at any point. It is an older facility, but serviceable. We were, unfortunately, quite disappointed in the breakfast. No one was checking on the hot food supply, so there was plenty of sausage, but only the tiniest of scraps in the other pans. We made do with cold cereal.

Friendly front desk check in. Reservations made online accommodation for first floor were made. Two full-size beds in room, not a whole lot of room to move around. Room, hallways, and breakfast area clean. Breakfast bar could use other options.

Good location, clean, and friendly

Greeted nicely by the front desk. Kitchen staff was friendly. Our room was nice and very clean. We always appreciate it when the sink is outside of the bathroom. We liked that the microwave and refrigerator was available but didn't use them. There are a lot of stores and restaurants close by, which is really nice. It's also close to the highway. A box of Kleenex in the room would be good to have.

I thought this would be similar to a Comfort Inn but it was a couple of steps down from that. The breakfast was quite limited - not even a waffle maker, which is pretty standard for other places. Also, the Fitness room was a joke. My wife wanted to walk, and both the treadmill and the recumbent bike were out of order/non-functional. It appears that no one maintains the property, at least in that area. The staff were friendly, but I would not stay there again.

Great place for a quick stay overnight. Updated enough and super staff. Fridge and microwave. Continental breakfast could have been better quality but it was sufficient and choices were good. Gas station nexy door and Cracker Barrel across the parking lot. Many other food choices. The pillows were the worst, too thick & unforgiving. Not soft. One pillowcase looked stained and smelled faintly like they didn't wash it. Everything else was clean and great. We would definitely stay there again! We were really inpressed.
