The staff was so helpful and friendly, as were the folks in the attached restaurant. The woman managing the morning breakfast for our two mornings was helpful and friendly. Our room was so comfortable and nicely appointed. If there had been a night light in the bathroom, I would declare this hotel perfect for our nights on the road.

Decent stay. Close to highway.

Overall it is an OK place to stay. The hotel looks to have been remodeled recently. Everything worked and the amenities were good. Small little snack bar area by the front desk had a decent selection and fair pricing. The room was clean but not perfect. Some door handles were loose, ac unit had metal loose underneath, toilet was slow to flush. All the the staff were friendly and responsive. The breakfast options were typical hotel fare.

Thank you for accommodating my family by giving us rooms with an adjoining door. Our room was very damp and had an odd odour. The air conditioner was very noisy. Our second day we asked to have our room cleaned as we left the hotel after the cleaning staff was finished. The woman at the front desk wrote our room number down and we also explained about the air conditioner and the smell. She said she would send the maintenance guy to check it out. We returned to our room after midnight and found that nothing had been touched. We went to the front desk and explained to the gentleman that was on duty. There was nothing he could do at that point to have the room cleaned. He brought us clean towels. We explained to him about the dampness and that the sheets felt wet. He also noticed the smell from the air conditioner. He came back with bedding and a spray to help get rid of the smell. He was very kind and understanding. I’m hoping that when we are booking these hotels through Expedia that we are not given the worst room in the hotel because we didn’t book direct. This trip we booked 4 different hotels through Expedia let’s just say they weren’t the best I’ve ever stayed in. The staff in the hotel were very friendly, the ladies in the breakfast area work very hard and are very helpful.
