Very noisy in freeway side, no smoke detector attached to wires, no drain in bathtub so wasn’t able to shower. Pancake machine wasn’t working. The staff were very kind and friendly, the room and facilities were clean. Easy walk to IHOP.

Staff was very courteous. Breakfast decent graceful for free waters.
Checked in, the first room, the toilet was broken. The second room had bedbugs, literally crawling on the bedspread. The gentleman at the desk was very nice and very helpful but canceled the reservation to go to another hotel.
room comfortable but rather dark….staff very nice, breakfast very good, fitness center great…nearby resturant, Bob Evans has excellent home made food…

This was a last minute stop for us and it was great! The room was clean, the bed was comfy, the shower was hot. Breakfast had a good variety of options. It was right off the interstate. The only con was that it was noisy because of the convenient location. But we travel with a sound machine so it wasn’t a huge deal. Clean, comfy, and convenient.
