Very nice looking property from the outside. Excellent staff that checked me in. Very nice The room is clean. Traveling across the US this was a pleasant surprise. Seems like it must have been recently updated. Sink and counters are very nice. Walking distance to a fantastic restaurant called Thunder Bay Grille. I highly recommend after a long day driving.

The lication was perfect for where I needed to be. The hotel is run down with cheap repairs. We found a old, dirty washcloth on top of the shower curtain rail. The towels were barely thicker than the cheap one-ply toilet paper and there was only 2 towels in the room.

We've stayed here twice now for sports events up at Mercyhealth fields. Convenient 10 minute drive if you have early morning games. No issues with hotel. TONS of dining options as well as shopping options if you need stuff. Great location just off the highway. No complaints and would stay here again.
