The bed was nice and it was a good space. The shower was not cleaned seeing as there was hair in it unfortunately. So it leaves me to wonder what else wasn’t cleaned.

Cheap stay and it felt that way

Overall, it is a cheap place to stay with relatively clean amenities. The sink drained very slowly in our room, which was our biggest aggravation and there weren’t enough towels for two adults and two kids as stated in our reservation. However, we feel overall we got what we paid for. If you go for “breakfast,” go early. When the coffee is gone, it doesn’t get refilled and the same applies to anything else they serve. We were there to visit family, so it was just a place to sleep and shower. It met our needs, so mission accomplished.

Friendly and Clean

Quick efficient friendly welcoming check-in. It was very evident they stressed keeping their rooms very clean. The breakfast was just ok but no complaints. Multiple staff were very friendly during check in and check out.

I did not get any amount of sleep. From noisy neighbors to the loud street outside with snow plows and semis going by at every hour of the night. I did not sleep. I am on a work trip.

The lobby was beautiful and not what I expected. Although located right on the highway there was very little noise. (I had the room farthest away from the road.) It was clean and comfortable, although nothing spectacular, I thought it was great value for the price.
