Just about the cleanest room I've ever stayed in. It looks like it was recently remodeled and new paint so it was quite nice. And very quiet too, it was nice not being right next to the highway.

Loved the stay only wish they had fresh brewed coffee in the lobby. My husband gets up earlier than me and does not want to turn on a light to use the coffee machine in the room. He drinks two cups every morning.

Clean and comfortable. Great staff. Quiet. Wonderfully remodeled. No breakfast (I don't like standing in line to pick through the messes that others have made). Good restaurants near by. Highly recommend.
