The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and breakfast was good. They even had a person available to make an omelette of your choice along with a buffet of eggs, bacon and sausage. Plus the usual breakfast items at most hotels. Convenient to I75 with a gas station next door to fill up before heading out.
