Clean, quiet, spacious rooms with microwave, fridge, coffee maker. Loved that the restroom had a separate vanity with bench and the shower had excellent water pressure. Comfortable bed with nice quality linens...except the pillow was a bit fat for me. A good value. I would stay there again. :-)

I'm a solo traveler who stayed one night on my way north. My king non-smoking room was fresh and well appointed. The bed was comfortable, and the bath was roomy & well-lit with a separate closet & vanity that would give a couple plenty of space to get ready without getting in each other's way. It was a busy Saturday night and the lot was full of cars by nightfall, yet I never heard my neighbors in the adjoining rooms. The breakfast bar was fresh and well-stocked, and the staff was attentive. I'd definitely stay again.

I have stayed here before and always enjoyed it. This time, there was a long wait to check in. Then i was given room cards that didn't work twice only to find out that the room had been issued to someone else. I finally had a room and it was wonderful until the toilet clogged. I was told that they could bring me a plunger. What? No maintenance? I unclogged the toilet myself. Not exactly what a "guest" should be doing.
