"The location, cleanliness, and friendly staff made my stay work well."

7.0

The room that I stayed in was quite small, but sufficient for a place to stay for one night while traveling. The front desk staff were friendly, polite, and efficient. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the heating and cooling worked as expected.

There is some road noise from the highway in front which has traffic all night long. If road noise bothers you, you will find the hotel unacceptable. The rate for one night was very expensive for what you get. Probably priced for location in the summer.

It was clean and the bed was comfortable. Price was good. Easy to get to off the highway.

Didn't have a lot of extras, such as blow dryer... and towels were a little sparse. But it had what we wanted. A clean space and a good night's sleep.
