The room was a pleasant surprise. I expected a dated, older looking hotel and room, but the condition of everything was in great shape. The morning continental breakfast was especially nice and the little lady behind the counter was friendly and fun to talk to. I found the hotel to be an unexpected gem and will stay there again the next time we head in that direction.

Impressed. It's a designated 'no smoking' facility, place was super clean, rooms super clean, in great condition and all was quiet (we were on the back side). The complimentary breakfast was a pleasant surprise as it wasn't advertised. That said, a tad better quality options would be nice for us picky eaters :) Overall, we had a great stay and really appreciate what they offer for a fair/reasonable price. Would definitely stay there again.
