The staffs are amazing! Very friendly and warm to guests. We stayed there for the Death Ride cycling event and they opened up the breakfast 4AM for us. Even the day after, they offer so much extra breakfast to ensure we stay in good shape.

I was skeptical that a low-priced two-star hotel would meet my standards, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a great value with friendly management. I wish they had better signage because I drove past it the first time and cellular internet was sparce, but that's the worst thing I can say. Great comfortable rooms!
