Most facilities at the location were good. Though all the rooms have a "no smoking" sign, our room still smelled of smoke until we aired it out. Some minor cosmetic facility defects, but nothing that would deter us from coming back.

Room was clean and comfortable. Has a coffee maker and microwave which is nice for putting together a breakfast. Walls were thin and we could hear some loud guests in the room next door (or upstairs?) after we had gone to sleep. Would stay there again, but would put in earplugs as I went to sleep.

Seemed to be newly remodeled, very clean, comfortable bed. Not much around it and no where to walk to if that is you thing after a long drive. The only strange part is the office is not staffed overnight but there is an emergency number. Also no phone in room so you must have a cellphone.
