Cy at the front desk checking in late was SO friendly and accommodating. The hot breakfast was a nice surprise with sausage, eggs, tater tots + the usuals. Very clean and renovated room. Great stay.
Clean and spacious rooms. Nicely remodeled property. Friendly and professional staff. Easy Interstate access. Great lighting on exterior of hotel and parking lot.
It has clean room, provided quality shampoo conditioner body soap. Nice hot shower , clean towers, only thing that I’m not comfortable is their pillows.
I appreciated the wood floors instead of carpet in the rooms. The check-in and check-out people were very friendly. There were only two towels in the room and one needed to be either thrown away or soaked in bleach!
The employees had great hospitality, easy check in and out. The room was very nice, clean and quiet for a one night stay. The breakfast could be better, overall though no complaints!
