Check in and out were a breeze, no issues with any services in the room. The "suite" portion with the futon/bunk bed situation was a bit below expectations but overall the room was cozy and well appointed, especially for the price.

What a great experience with the staff at this location. From check in to check out all was easy and quick. The breakfast was good, the coffee was ehhh not the best and the variety was there. It is a small eating area so it can get crowded fast. The rooms were clean and didn't smell. We were toward the front so you could heat the traffic on the roadway but not enough to keep you up at night. This is an older establishment so the walls are on the thinner side. The property itself felt safe and I had no issues staying there with my family. All in all I would recommend staying here!

Parking was very safe and well lit. The unit was the family unit with a full size bottom bunk, twin top bunk beds as well as a king bed. King bed is on its last sleep, very hard and the full size bed wasn't even a mattress bed it was a futon cushion. The twin looked brand new. Epic failure on the full size bed. If it weren't for those 2 issues this place would have earned 5 stars in most categories.

The checking in process took a bit of time, but the lady was new so it was understanding. The room we stayed in was alright, but the floor to the bathroom looks like it needs remodeled and the phone doesn't work with incoming calls. Was worth the $40 that we paid for with our One Key Card rewards.
