We stayed here short notice as traveling down freeway and got tired. Big parking lot well lit. Quiet area, not a premier Hotel, but worth the money and we would stay here again if we needed to. Just a continental breakfast. Don't know about the surrounding areas. Comfortable bed and pillow, clean bathroom.

Our room was clean and bed was comfy. Breakfast was very disappointing! Bagels and muffing - nothing hot unless you count the package of instant oatmeal that you add water to and microwave. Our room was close to the front desk and it was noisy. Would probably not stay here again.
