pleasant staff, clean rooms, clean sheets, neat room in general. Close to highway, breakfast included, clean dining area, fresh coffee, good variety of available foods. Have been staying in this place several times before, never had any issues with my last or previous stays. For the price, I doubt one can find better or more suitable place in that general area.

The room was OK for the price. The humidity level and the smell in the room was a little unconformable for us. The location is close to everything, and the staff was very attentive and friendly. I give 3 Stars over all, since there’s room to improve. The price is fair for the location and the room. The Hot breakfast was a bit disappointing. The food wasn’t very inviting for us. But every person should reach their own conclusion. I would recommend it for a budget friendly stay. The staff is very friendly, which for us is important.

Good hotel for work days, Continental breakfast a plus. Don’t expect that the housekeepers clean, turn down the bed, or pick up trash, they only change towels.
