Was a quick stop for the night. I was very happy with the cleanliness of the facility. The lobby, room and parking lot were all clean and well lit. Had a very restful night and breakfast hit the spot in the morning before I took off to finish my trip. The staff was very friendly. I’d definitely stay here again! Great value for the price!
