Hotel is very clean. Customer services very accommodating and willing. Only odd thing is front desk being on the phone for personal calls. You can hear it upstairs because of the open lobby however, I would definitely stay there again.

This hotel looks new, the carpets are fresh and the paint is bright. Nice rooms, large bathroom with stone countertop, with lots of counter space. The breakfast was good, too--fried eggs, sausage links and home fries, with coffee and juice. It was everything that I needed at a great price.

Sadly breakfast on a Saturday ended at 9am so we missed this benefit. Newer property, nice building, very specious room and bathroom. Not many dinning options close by. Allowed us to check in several hours early without any hassle

8/10

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.

It is freshly remodeled, fresh paint and carpets. Swimming pool is not heated, so not fun during winter.
