Parking was easy and the manager allowed car to be parked under cover because impending storm. The room was clean and although advertised as executive, the room was basic. The water pressure in the shower was excellent, although it took some time for the hot water to arrive. Noise was not an issue event though close to 2 fuel outlets.

Overpriced, Rooms are dated and beds are really hard. some investment in the hotel would be smart but it appears that the owner wants to bank it all and no invest in the future. Also on the busy highway so gets noisy at night with the trucks coming through town
