This is a budget option, but it was clean and comfortable. There aren't a lot of frills, but there is a basic breakfast and you can tell they are working to renovate. We will be back.

Room was clean, a bit antiseptic (just, empty, clear, clean space). But I have to say, it was quiet and the bed and pillows were remarkably good. I lay down and I involuntarily smiled because it felt so good. For the price, it was excellent. Would definitely stay again as a sleeping spot on a cross country road trip.
