The hotel was the cleanest and best maintained I have stayed in at this price for years. Not a speck of dirt on the floor. The room was huge too for the corner room we got. Sound between the rooms was really quiet and the front desk staff was wonderful to work with! We didn't get the chance to eat breakfast as the road was calling but the menu looked good for a motel breakfast and included an omelet!
