Arrived late at night and the man at check in was so friendly and kind. He offered me bottled water. The room was very clean and smelled great! With small kids it’s a benefit having the cars parked right at your room. Breakfast was delicious and the waffles were the best touch. The AC worked great — I bumped it down and it kept us cool. If we ever travel through the area again, this is where we will stay.

The room was clean. The pillows were a bit strange, round and bulky. Breakfast was decent. The usual- scrambled eggs, sliced sausage, home fries. Bread, English muffins, waffles. There are train tracks nearby and several trains went by during the night. Great staff.
