All was nice. Unfortunately I did not get to take advantage of the breakfast due to time. Start at 6AM and closes down by 9AM. First morning we weren't up in time. Next day we left too early. Not a big deal. Room was spacious, staff was great on check in and out. Only thing I really had difficulty with was the TV kept losing it's signal. The overall experience was great. This location is close enough to dining and even grocery. Thank you for the stay!

Good stay. Better maintenance?

Overall, good stay. Staff was wonderful. Breakfast was wonderful. Beds were comfy. Seems like a very old hotel that needs better maintenance. No hook to hang towels on. Stained carpet. Rusting fixtures in restroom. TV…terrible! Never could watch a whole show as it just skips in and out. Restarted several times, never solved it. Overall, ok stay but some details could be addressed.

Stopover safe location.

Loved the warm cinnamon rolls and the western omelt on the breakfast menu. I Thank you for putting a notice on the juice dispenser about the juices containing Stevia, a game changing. Rooms could be a little more soundproof. Rooms were comfortable for our needs.

A Decent Stay

This is a good hotel. A decent stay. Nothing to write home about, but not awful either. The TV remote and phone in the room didn't work, but everything else was fine. It had good wifi and water pressure in the shower. We didn't try the breakfast.
