The hotel was great, very clean. Michael (Mike) who was there on check in and check out was very pleasant and friendly. He was fantastic. The grab and go breakfast had many choices. We were there during a snow fall, so the TV dish went out for awhile (2-3 hours), but Dish was called and they took care of it. The bed could use some updating, it wasn't very comfortable. Overall it was a great stay.

Last choice.

Only stayed here because other motels were not available for all 3 nights we requested. Air conditioner did not work correctly. Was quiet - not many motel guests. No continental breakfast. Old motel. Travelocity did not ask if we had any discounts.

Disappointed

Was excited to find a non smoking hotel. Front desk was rude and not helpful. Rooms are outdated and smells of smoke. Could not get ride of the smell. I'm allergic to smoke.
