Really good
Everyone was friendly, the room was nice. To use the shower, pull the circle out of the spout where the water comes out 😉
Breakfast was a pretty good spread for a hotel. I was satisfied.

Road Trip
Check in went quickly. The parking lot is well lit. We stayed on the third floor and never heard any other people. Breakfast was open before the scheduled time.

Hotel is in state of a turn around from a chain. I am sure they are going to freshen it up as it was clean but a little worn on the edges. Bedding was fresh but the carpet was worn. Area seemed very safe.,

It's an older hotel, but no complaints! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and professional, and the hot breakfast was excellent!
