Driving late and had to find a place to stop. This place was great. Clean, very comfortable, easy on and off highway, friendly staff, affordable! Our stay was brief but we were toward the back and there is a lovely courtyard with an outdoor pool.

Little escape

It was a quick overnight stay, the room was nice. Area safe enough to walk a few blocks to get dinner (college town). Only had an issue with my door and lock (it worked but very difficult), I let them know at checkout and they emailed later that it was fixed. I would definitely go back!
