Will stay again.
The young man who checked us in was very accommodating as we had to change rooms. He said he was new and was very patient. He’s doing a great job! Great bed, very roomy. We were on the second floor king room. Tv easy to use. Clean. Great water pressure. Did I mention how clean everything was!

A great place to stay. The location was convenient to the highway, and room was comfortable. My only complaint is that the hotel was apparently understaffed in thhe food service area. One lady was attempting to keep the breakfast area stocked. There were long waits for basics like milk, and many items were out for long periods of time. Otherwise, our stay was perfect.

The front of the property needed attention. The landscape rocks were scattered, the trash can was full, and the lobby was messy. Our room, however, was very clean. But because the lobby wasn’t very inviting, I was worried.
