Clean but small.
The hotel was clean but the pictures were a little deceptive. The reception area was small, and the I had paid for a room with a king bed and was given two queens. The room was smaller than most Holiday In Expresses that we have stated at as well. The hotel at some point was remodeled but it still had that 1970’s or 1980’s smell and vibe for a hotel. The room was clean but the bathroom floor had some sort of sticky residue. The breakfast was the best one we’ve had in a while and the staff was friendly. Parking lot is small and we drive a stock F250 and barely fit so large vehicles be advised it has 7’ and 8’ maximum heights and the parking is located under the hotel. Over all it was ok, it was a decent price for the area but I probably won’t stay here again.

Nice breakfast, decent room. But almost impossible to find! I drove past it several times because it looks like a garage not a hotel.
