I would stay here again

We stayed in a 2 queen room. Bed was slightly firmer than I like but still comfortable. 4 pillows... I love lots of pillows! The bathroom was large with a double size vanity. The bathroom had plug outlets on both sides of the vanity in the wall. (Don't see that too often). Breakfast was decent. They had fried eggs, breakfast sausage, hashbrown potatoes along with pastries and cereal. We did not use the pool but they did have an indoor pool. No hot tub. Hotel was clean and welcoming. Plenty of on site parking. Overall I liked our stay and would stay here again.

Everything about the property and surroundings was terrific--quiet, clean, good cost, etc. The only drawback was the lack of breakfast options.

Rooms are small and very basic. Breakfast is OK, not great. If all you want is a safe, inexpensive place to sleep, this will work.
