Convenient access to the interstate. Lobby, dining area and rooms were clean and well maintained. The hotel was generally quiet, although my location near the elevator and icemaker was not. (You could hear people getting ice nearby very late into the night.)

Room was clean. Bed was quite comfortable. Breakfast was not included, $4 per person, marginally worth the $4. Scrambled eggs were burned a bit, the fried potatoes seem like they may have been made last week and were microwaved, bacon was not in strips but piles, only almond milk. Clerk at the front desk when we checked in said they made to order breakfast, there was no way to order breakfast that we were able to find. Hotel was good don't spend for breakfast go to Denny's across the street, $5 Grand slam is better.
