Best Overall Value, Highly Recommend Staying Here

Clean, well maintained and quiet property located conveniently across from casino. Hosts greet guests and make sure they feel welcome and will address any concerns that may come up. The breakfast area was clean and we'll stocked with cereals, different bread and pastry, coffee, scrambled eggs, sausages, and batter to make your own fresh pancakes or waffles. Very tasty and good effort by the kitchen staff to keep everything stocked, available and clean. We have stayed here multiple times the last 3 years and this place is making a real effort to improve and keep their guests coming back. A well managed facility. ngage and respond to guests.

The greeting agent (Elisa?spelling) was very friendly and helpful. She got me checked in and reviewed elements of my stay. During my stay Shauna was helpful and friendly by greeting me each day as I passed by. She was helpful when I asked questions. The breakfast was excellent (like what I fixed at home).
