Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Other than the property being a bit dated and right off the freeway, it was a quiet and friendly place to sleep for a couple nights. We had originally planned only to stay for one night, but were easily able to add an extra night for our stay. Staff was very helpful.

It’s fine. You get what you pay for. It’s an older facility so everything is pretty worn down and a bit crusty but all serviceable. It’s what I expected for budget.
