Overnight stay

Just traveling through, but a nice spot for the night just off the freeway. Room was spacious and clean. The man checking us in was curt with us because we had booked online instead of directly. Woman upon our checkout was very pleasant though.

Rooms were clean but outdated and carpet was worn out. Hot tub was in need of cleaning so didn’t use it, Breakfast was terrible with cold biscuits and some gravy in a crockpot was the only choice for something hot.
