Staff was friendly, room was clean, bed was very old and uncomfortable. A loud pick up truck started right outside my door at 5:30 and fumes smoked me out. Not a pleasant stay.

Price was right for our needs. I would note that while the room was clean, there was a washcloth left on the shower curtain from a previous guest. Although our room was tidied up twice it still was never removed by the cleaner, as well as a tissue on the floor. Not a deal breaker for us as the room was overall clean, however some guest would likely have a bigger issue with it.

The front desk staff was very efficient and pleasant: twice I had to bother her, and she was so helpful each time. The room was simple, very clean, and comfortable.

The breakfast flavor was bland. Also the biscuits were not thoroughly cooked. But there were lots of options to choose from.

The room was clean but the shower was disgusting. The shower head was caked in build up. My son and I did not shower for this reason. There were towels with residue on them. It was not the best. We didn't wake up in time for the breakfast but from what I seen when I made it there, it wasn't much to choose from, more like a continental breakfast.

The room was cramped and very basic. A second story room was our only option with no elevator available. This can be an issue for seniors or anyone with mobility issues. Staff was very friendly and helpful - the one true standout. The room wasn't dirty - just felt tired. Heard road noise all night. While it wasn't exactly an expensive room it did feel overpriced for what was provided. We'll be shopping for other options next time.
