Good location - handy to our travel route & everything that we needed. Yet, it was quiet. There was plenty of parking. Everything was clean. The bed was comfortable. There was a good selection for breakfast. Our ONLY negative would be that the coffee in the lobby was cold.

Room was well priced for 1 night. The pet fee was a little high but not as bad as some other hotels that charge $50 a night. All staff were very friendly. Got there at 8:45pm and fortunately the pool was open until 9:30pm, not 9pm, so we got to use it. The room was clean, quiet and well maintained. The hot breakfast was nice, not the biggest selection I've seen but still lots of food. The location near the highway was great and the surrounding area with other hotels and a walking path around a lake was great for walking our dog in the morning.

The hotel is aged and in need a deep cleaning and a refresh. Public bathroom out of toilet paper and every tissue Box had one tissue. Breakfast was sparse.
