The room was large and really clean and the staff were lovely. This is not a high-end place, but for the price it was excellent! I’ve spent more money on places that were disappointing compared to this motel. It’s not The Ritz, but we knew that going in and we were pleasantly surprised. Breakfast was included, nothing fancy, but it was adequate. The usual continental stuff, but also scrambled eggs, bacon, and I think there was a setup for waffles or pancakes but we didn’t use it.

Rooms are decently clean. The staff is very kind. Only downside is the comfortability of the beds and the breakfast was pretty limited most mornings. But overall it's convenient and average to stay at.

The room was very clean. One bed had afirm3 matress and the second bed had a softer one. Would have been nice to have a garbage can in our room, plus a hand towel near the sink. Other than that, it was perfect. The breakfast was great too. Lots of variety too. We will reccomend you to others and we will be back again.

Check in process was painfully slow and breakfast was very basic, and the property dated, but the room was large and the bed comfortable. For a one night stop over, it’s fine.
