The price for this hotel was fantastic. We had stayed at this hotel in the past with a good experience. This stay did not disappoint. The staff is very friendly, and the room was very clean. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable hotel without all the frilly luxuries, this hotel is just what you are wanting. We would definitely stay again and again.

Overall, the property was really nice. It was new so everything was clean and in excellent condition. The breakfast was good and had many options. My room faced the interstate and the hotel was right next to the interstate so you could hear the road noise, but I was able to put the fan on the AC heat unit and let it run all night and it acted as a sound machine and blocked out the noise. I tried to get a room at the back of the hotel away from the interstate, but they didn’t have any available. Also, the hot water did not get real hot…. It was lukewarm at best, but I was able to take a shower however I prefer to take hot showers. I let management know when I checked out and they were very nice about it and said that they would check on it however, no discounts were offered.

Overall, this was a decent stay. I can see how the floors might be an issue for some people—they’re made of inexpensive aluminum panels—but the room I stayed in was fairly clean. The AC and heat are definitely dated, but they did work as expected. The staff was outstanding (10/10) and the breakfast was also a solid 10/10. If needed, I would stay here again.
