Clean & comfortable at an excellent rate. Breakfast choices were sparse, though—cereal, toast, and yogurt plus some prepackaged muffins. Nothing hot, no waffle maker, no fruit.

Property is very clean and well maintained.
1-night trip

6/10

The rooms appeared clean and fairly well taken care of, although old. There was adequate supply of toiletries and clean towels. The tv remote and ac controls were dirty. Unfortunately, the beds were like bricks. We could not get comfortable and left exhausted. The "light breakfast " was more of a non-breakfast snackbar. It wasn't a breakfast by any stretch of the imagination. Also the coffee was kind of awful.

8/10

The lobby was beautiful and not what I expected. Although located right on the highway there was very little noise. (I had the room farthest away from the road.) It was clean and comfortable, although nothing spectacular, I thought it was great value for the price.
