The room smelled every time the air conditioning was on. We attempted to open the window for fresh air which was nice... but then the highway noise took over. Not too bad for a 1 night stay

The room was clean and everything functional. One of the beds had a broken row of springs that caused it to sag on one side. The breakfast is a few different bread items, juice, coffee, microwave egg sandwiches and cereal.

The property was clean and the attendants were friendly. The breakfast room was waaay too small, and the price was a bit on the high side, but otherwise, we enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfortable and clean.
