This hotel is everything that a hotel should be: clean, comfortable, cheery with friendly staff and an outstanding price. I travel a lot and stay in a lot of hotels and this hotel was great!
It was clean, and perfect size. I like the location, on the quiet street. I like the customer service, they were so nice and helpful. I would come back to this hotel for weekend trip again.
It was a very good stay, clean room, very comfortable, and great service. Had a special request for a senior dog and was well taken care of on the request.
Very clean well kept property. Definitely a win for the price. Our room had a nice little furnisjed kitchen and full size refrigerator.

Decent hotel, good amenities, interstate is noisy and the AC unit in room 210 sounds like a plane engine while running.

Nothing fancy but okay
Property needs to be updated (a lot!) but it was clean and fine for a one night stay. Did not realize it was an extended stay until after we booked online.
This hotel was just what my friend and I needed. We were in town for homecoming and weren’t planning on staying the night. The cold and rain changed our plans. The room was nice and clean, the beds were super comfortable. Check-in/out was quick and easy. We did miss the breakfast bag unfortunately.

We found our room nice and clean but was unable to set the air conditioning where it would be comfortable and it turned out to be miserable. And the mattress was quite uncomfortable.
Room was very clean and neat. I didn’t realize it was an extended stay until I saw the mini kitchen.
Would say the the straight back wooden chair was very uncomfortable. It actually hurt my back to sit on it.
Also you should put a sign on the wall to use the thermostat to control the HVAC. Took me awhile to realize the control was there just didn’t see it for a hike.

Kind staff
The staff was very welcoming. The mattress in our room was very uncomfortable. We suggest that it be replaced.
