Thumbs Up

Our stay overall was pretty good. We did the digital check in but still had to sign/initial paperwork and provide my ID (done in the digital check in). The staff was nice and friendly enough. The room was clean and cool so that was nice. I don’t like that the light to the bathroom was outside (would wake my family when going to the bathroom. The toilet was a little lower than expected so that took a second to adjust. The water in our shower would pool up until the shower was off then it went down. The breakfast was satisfactory, I was expecting more than what they had though. Some eggs and sausage/bacon would have been nice in addition to the various cereals, biscuits and gravy (gravy was in a crockpot to stay warm), waffle machine and yogurts. There were also bagels, toast, etc. For the 1 night we stayed, it was good.

Property conditions and parking were good, and staff was nice. Bathroom was dirty, floor unvacuumed, no TP, and possibly haunted (unexplainable noises and lights at night, cat was freaked out by something).

There's plenty of parking even for big trucks. The rooms are clean, however they all have the small toilet seat. The breakfast is very modest, only waffles, cereal, and bread. No juice, eggs or meat whatsoever.
