Beds were comfortable. Room was very clean. Coffee was provided for the coffee maker. The only downside was no freezer in the small refrigerator, and there was not extra toilet paper.

Old rooms are just like it sounds, old and outdated. New rooms were very nice. Check in was slow and we had a reservation. The new rooms may have been worth $90 a night, but old rooms, should have been $60. Luckily for us there was a nice diner close by with a delicious buffet as continental breakfast was substandard.

Older property but clean. Tv hung high so easy to watch from bed. Good choices of channels. WiFi worked great. Our son was amazed that we used a key not a key card to get in room. Could walk across parking lot to restaurant. Disappointing breakfast not very many choices. Front desk clerk offered to help with luggage.

Good stay. traveling and needed a one night stay. Price was right, and although an older hotel, it was clean and served the purpose. Note; It is close to restaurants and has a mediocre breakfast, but good enough to get going !
