Breakfast was amazing. Bed was not overly comfortable and the entire place had an odd odor, small.

Very convenient to restaurants and shopping and highway. The towels were thin and on the smaller size. And the room was cool, despite trying to turn up the heat.
If you're passing through and need a safe, comfortable, clean place to stay, at a reasonable price, this is a great option. The staff were nice and helpful.
