It was just what I needed for a one-night stay! The room was spacious, clean, and had amenities I was looking for (i.e. a microwave, a fridge, and a coffee machine. The room was on the same floor where the complimentary continental breakfast was located. The breakfast itself was okay, wasn't a huge fan of the omelets and everything else was your generic gathering of breakfast items. The complimentary shuttle was also another factor and it was good (had to go to several other motels/hotels to pick up passengers) Overall, a good stay =)

Nice, clean, no frills hotel with free covered parking. My only complaint is the size of the breakfast area. There are only a few tables so seating can be very limited.

Room was clean and spacious. Free parking was a plus but the breakfast was disappointing because there was no protein. Only waffles, bread and omelettes aside from cereal and yogurt
