Review

When I booked there it said breakfast included. I didn't check that out but I was disappointed to find out it was a boxed sandwich delivered to our room. Not my idea of breakfast. That is my fault for not inquiring. I just assumed all motels had the morning sit down buffet. The room was good only it wasn't the room I booked. I booked a room with a King bed and couch due to husbands back wanted the couch. Got a king and queen bed.

Nice enough, but needs some tlc

The outside of the hotel and lobby are in good shape. The halls are showing their age a bit with cracks and the room itself is showing its age a bit with the bathroom, counters and tile. The beds and furniture are ok. The hide a bed was very worn out. The room above us was terrible as you heard every step. Get the highest floor if you stay here. Nice enough overall. Not perfect but if it’s the right price than go for it.
