This hotel was recently remodeled and it was great, especially for the price! The rooms, beds, bathrooms all were new and clean. The breakfast was good with hot scrambled eggs and sausage along with your cold breakfast options. The staff are all very friendly. Our only problem was their internet was down the night we stayed, but other than that it was great.
