Terrific stay

Stayed here for a night and it was terrific. Breakfast was 8.95 and delish. Oatmeal was super with all the fixings and coffee yummy. Serving staff were a delight! Thrilled for 1.75/load to do some laundry-been on road two weeks. Bed comfy. Parking free and easy. Next to Texas Roadhouse. Shower good. WIFI worked (last hotel it did not) So highly recommend

Nice hotel

Really nice hotel, our only complaints would be the bed was not very comfortable and not enough coffee in the room. Great location, food establishments close by and a really quiet property. Would stay here again.

Very good, but nothing special.

The room was nice, nothing special. I was surprised that breakfast was an extra charge. The elevators were a bit clunky and smelled of urine, like someone had taken a leak in them. The hallway on the 2nd floor smelled of frying meat in the evening.

It’s been better.

The hotel and staff were very nice. Unfortunately my room did not measure up. Dimly lit, cramped, and unlike all the photos. The shower stall was very narrow and my shoulders barely fit. I do t remember my last visit being like this.
