I especially liked the breakfast and housecleaning crew. They were very friendly and helpful. All seemed to be very happy. I do wish though that some staff not smoke at the front door and keep trash cans clean and emptied.

Very clean property. When I first pulled in, I could tell it was more suited for an easy exit for truckers. It is very well kept and lit. The place was very clean. There were many many families staying there as well. I felt super safe. Right next-door was a large convenience store and a couple of Dining options.
