When I checked in i was greeted at the front desk by a lady named Joy. She was very polite and knowledgeable about the area. Not only gave me dining options but directions as well.
Check in and check out were very fast. Breakfast was good, especially the small omelets and the person in charge was very friendly. I would add some kind of larger toaster where whole wheat bread can be toasted well.
This is an affordable hotel, just off 1-75, offering a decent hot breakfast and clean, comfortable room. There is excellent shopping and plentiful dining options nearby. Not fancy, but with an early week booking discount, we found it good value and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
