Was a quick stop for the night. I was very happy with the cleanliness of the facility. The lobby, room and parking lot were all clean and well lit. Had a very restful night and breakfast hit the spot in the morning before I took off to finish my trip. The staff was very friendly. I’d definitely stay here again! Great value for the price!

The hotel is definitely an older hotel that has been remodeled. Nothing fancy. Breakfast was pretty good, they do need to improve on keeping it stocked. Overall, it was fine for the price. Not great, but fine.
