An older property in serious need of an overhaul. That being said, the room was a decent size, bedding was comfortable, hot free breakfast. An OK cheap stay just off the interstate.

Outside below average, inside better.
The building is run down and the entrance was hard to get into. Road Construction everywhere. The inside was pleasant enough. Nothing to brag about. The lock that turns on our door didnt work for extra security. It seemed like this place was a location that construction workers on powerline works stayed. There was a lot of tractor trailer trucks in the parking lot. On a better note the breakfast was nice. Waffles, real eggs, sausage along with the usual continental breakfast items. I more then like would not stay hear again.

Solid choice
This appears to be a solid choice. Not overly fancy but it is clean and the service was good. It is right off the highway and I would stay here again. It was too cold to check out the pool and hot tub but hopefully next time I will have the chance.

Checkin was fantastic. Our hostess was very friendly and informative. During the night, our smoke alarm went off, which was nobody's fault. But with the noise from the interstate and noisy heat/AC unit, it was impossible to sleep. I was not pleased with the cleanliness.

Horrible isn't strong enough
I would definitely drive pass this one, the front desk person that worked the night shift was useless, had people above us that jumped , ran around sounded like they were playing basketball, went to the office to ask for help, door was locked couldn't call, phone didn't work, after a night of no sleep all I wanted was a hot shower, but no lukewarm at best,
