We stayed from Friday to Tuesday. During that time, housekeeping gave us fresh towels twice ,made one of the 2 beds once, and emptied the trash once. Granted, the room wasn't really messy or dirty, but they could at least do those 3 things at least every other day.

Great spot! The greeting at 9:30pm was wonderful! The lady at the front desk was wonderful, helpful and even offered a few fruits for the kids knowing we had been on the road all day. They offered a breakfast. They had cheese omelettes, egg white omelettes, fresh fruits, sausage, turkey sausage, pancakes etc. it was a great selection! Even fresh ground coffee. Facilities were very clean!

I was a little disappointed by the lady that was taking care of the continental breakfast. She was not friendly and seemed upset that I asked her to replace the pancake batter bag that was in the machine it was throwing a code regarding the bag needing to be replaced. My experience other than that it was very nice.

Front desk very helpful. Breakfast staff was amazing - they were set up early and allowed us to start which helped get us on the road sooner. The only downside was the trash bins out front were beyond overfilled.
