It was the nicest Comfort Inn I have ever been to and so many other hotels I’ve been to and paid so much more. We definitely will frequent this hotel if we get back up this way.

A surprisingly good stay considering the affordable price for the evening of Black Friday. We willingly drove about a half hour away to save between $50 and $100 on rates in nearby towns, and the Comfort Inn was more than worth it. Pool area was inviting and clean, breakfast was standard and well-equipped with a waffle machine, eggs and breakfast ham, room was clean, bed was super comfy. The bathroom was dilapidated and the bathroom itself was very small. We could hear our neighbor’s TV through the wall, but we turned up the fan for white noise and had a pleasant night.

The staff here was amazing. Check-in was friendly and fast. Rooms need serious updates. Smelly carpet. The entire 4th floor smelled like marijuana, even though it’s a non smoking hotel. Breakfast was spot on, on time and hot. There is insufficient parking for when the hotel gets busy. The lot also isn’t easy to navigate there is only a lane on one side of each row, making you have to back out when there are no spaces and look for more. Also they jacked up the rate for Saturday. Staff good….. needs a franchise inspection.
