The room was nice and clean, the staff was nice, the bed was comfy, the price was good, and the bathroom was big. The only complaint is there was no breakfast. There’s a space for it, but nothing. The place looks a little dated, but it’s exactly what we needed after driving al day. I’d definitely stay here again.
