Clean, great breakfast, nice staff.

Made a quick overnight stay during a roadtrip. We stayed in a room with two king beds which worked well for our family of 5. The room was nice and clean, check in and out were easy, and the hot breakfast was great. I would absolutely stay again.

I have stayed at this location multiple times. It has easy access, clean, comfortable & nice front desk staff. The only complaint I have is that their key cards take multiple attempts to unlock the room door. I have had this issue on more than one stay. However, I would stay again…good value & clean/comfortable.

I would have given it 5 stars, but we were told at check-in that the pool was closed for remodeling/repairs. We had some kiddos that were bummed that they couldn’t swim.
