Staff was friendly and getting to the rooms is convenient. The hotel has way too strong of a perfumey smell and the bed was uncomfortable. Breakfast wasn't good either.

Pillows were horrible; No support and flat, and had 3 for 2 people. Ice machine on the floor didn’t work, halls smelled, had to ask for a new light bulb and change myself. Staff very friendly. Room was clean, but only 2 towels.

It was quiet and staff that I talked to very nice and friendly. What was not good was the smell in the room and the towels smelled like cigarettes smoke. Good thing I had air freshener. The halls smelled good but that room smelled of cigarettes smoke. The chair in the room had cigarettes burns in it. My husband and I are non smokers. The bed was really hard.

Comfortable pit stop

Cute, clean, easy to get to from the highway. Setup of the hotel is quirky but nothing crazy. The room was comfortable, checking in was easy and was what I needed to break up a long drive.

Definitely great for a stop

For a 2 star rated hotel you cannot ask for anything better. Wonder staff, customer service focused and polite. Check in process was quick and easy. Room was updated, wasn't top notch but was definitely upgraded and you could tell. Best thing was the water pressure, i think it's better than mine. Overall it worked for us as we spent the night on our way across the country.
