This is a good, functional, clean hotel. It's obviously older, but has been upgraded. Bummer it's next to the freeway because of noise. Great that it's next to the freeway for easy access. My check in got messed up, but the great staff fixed it and all was well. Thanks

The heater worked well, the parking was crowded but sufficient. You get what you pay for so don’t expect too much. The floor needed cleaning both days of our stay. I mentioned it to office clerk. Everything else was clean.
