A simple place to rest

I’ve stayed here many times. Everyone is very nice and the place is very clean for the price they charge. It is a comfortable place to rest after visiting family also the Chinese buffet next door is the best I’ve ever had! The location is easy to get to off the thruway Which is a big plus for me. They do also serve coffee and a small breakfast!

It’s outdated but clean! Very good price and we enjoyed outside tables with a swimming pool! We stayed for 2 consecutive nights and it was very quiet, good beds and A/C was working fine! So many restaurants and grocery shops around, we liked it and we would for sure come back!
