Comfortable

We stayed for a night while passing through. We wanted a place with a king bed and a pull out couch for the little one, which is exactly what we got. We also had our dog so we were thrilled about the $15 pet fee (many places charge more). We appreciated having the kitchenette so we could unload the cooler for the night. We were right next to a birthday party and we heard nothing. We hardly heard anyone in the halls. It was definitely comfortable for a night. Breakfast had a decent spread and the front desk was friendly. I wouldn't mind staying again.

Very good last minute stop.

Beds wete great, room clean and nice. Breakfast was pretty wiped out by 9:30 (serve until 10), and no coffee available - so we had to go out. But otherwise good value.

I planned a weekend get-away for me, my daughter and my granddaughter and our stay here was fabulous. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was cozy, comfortable with a lot of space. The grounds around the building were clean, no trash in sight. Breakfast was very good. Everything was hot and fresh. Delicious cookies at the counter were a plus! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Nice safe area with a newer suburban feel, less than 5 minutes from the highway without the highway noise. Mike at the front desk was a friendly guy that made check-in a breeze. We love our clean, modern room and would absolutely stay here again!
