The bathroom definitely needs remodeling. The bath tub was dingy and the toilet was toddler size meaning super low. Otherwise ok. I would not stay here again even with the good location.

I usually stay at Comfort Inn hotels. This one was ok compared to others have stayed in. The afternoon that we got there the guy (Mark) was to helpful to us. He got us a luggage cart and we loaded our stuff on it and he took it to our room. He really went out of his way. He deserves an award! The breakfast was ok. I would have liked to have had some potatoes but unfortunately there wasn’t any. The lady taking care of breakfast did go out of her way and got me some turkey sausage and some bananas one morning. Kudos to her also.
