We were upgraded to 2 queens . Our room was closer to hiway so did hear traffic noise through the night but our friends stayed a few rooms further away from hiway where you didn’t hear the traffic. Nice having a restaurant right next door.

the look of the hotel may throw you off, hotel check in was a breeze ground level rooms with easy access to your vehicle, we had our dogs so having a door with access to the green space located in the middle of the property was excellent the property is definitely in need of a facelift, but dont let that change you booking this place the beds are comfy, probably one of the best beds i have slept on, the room was cozy and warm shower has hot water and the coffee maker and fridge worked great
