The breakfast was one step above "continental" as it included hot waffles you make and eggs and biscuits. But it is still minimal compared to Sleep Inn. The room was surprisingly quiet in that I didn't hear cars coming and going when they checked in and out. Good place to stay on a budget.

Good enough for a one night stay driving cross country! Front desk lady, Jill, was lovely. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast wasn’t open on time, but if it’s just one person on staff 24 hrs, I don’t blame them.

Okay but probably won’t stay again

Very dog friendly! The room was clean, mattress comfortable however the base of the beds was a hollow metal so anytime someone touched it, it made a very loud banging sound. We got very little sleep as the sound was heard through the floor and walls. It was also hard to regulate the temperature in the rooms

Staff was helpful. I do deep water exercise 3 to 6 times a week The Pool was doable at 4 1/2 feet, I was so thankful to be able to adjust my exercise to the pool, The room was clean until you look up to the black mold and circle above the shower and ceiling tile hanging down above the door. no grab bar in the shower
