Larry, Peter, Fernando and Patel at the front desk were the sweetest kindest friendliest front desk staff I’ve come across in a very long time. The room was very clean just an average hotel room. But as soon as it turned 10:01 they would not let us make a waffle but other than that 10 out of 10 would recommend going again just because of the excellent customer service at the front desk!

Overall, things were not bad, but the carpeting in our room needed cleaning, and there was a gray streak of dirt in the toilet, suggesting it hadn't been scrubbed. Breakfast was good, and the staff were friendly.

The young man that checked us in and out was very friendly. Provided us with water which we really needed! The room was very clean! The food was not the best. Sausage was undercooked, waffle batter was chunky and didn’t cook correctly. Coffee was horrible it tastes like overused coffee grounds. The gal that was maintaining it seemed annoyed by people touching anything after she just cleaned. She offer for in the way if guests trying to serve themselves! I ate the waffles but put place an order at McDonalds for the trip home!

Good property with helpful staff to make your stay comfortable. The breakfast area gets busy quickly due to a small space but the staff handled everything efficiently to keep things moving. Rooms are clean which is always good to see & McDonald's is right across the property. Parking fills up pretty fast due to that.

We had a great experience during our stay. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and professional. We had a king room and it was spacious, quiet, and had all the amenities necessary for a relaxing stay. The location was convenient, with easy access to the highway and nearby food. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and efficient, making the entire experience stress-free.

We stayed here for a short visit and mainly chose it for convenience and availability. Nothing about the stay necessarily stood out, but sometimes that is perfectly fine. The room was clean, comfortable, and everything worked as expected, which made for an easy and stress free stay. The staff was pleasant, and the property felt well maintained overall. We did not have the chance to try breakfast, so we cannot comment on that. While this was not the kind of hotel that leaves a lasting impression, it was dependable, comfortable, and served its purpose well. We would stay here again if we were in the area.
