The rooms here are really nice and clean. I gave it 4 stars because the toilets are the size of children's toilets at a school. Not great for my 6 ft tall husband who just had knee surgery. Other than that this was a nice stay.

Nice location by the highway and friendly staff. Didn't feel like the hotel was too cleanly as we used the coffee machine in the room and it smelled moldy. Other than that, it was a nice experience as a one stop and go stay.

You can hear the sound of a woman making love too loud and the sound of a bed moving or shaking really loud above your room overnight or in the quiet hours after 10 or 11 pm.

The beds were so comfortable, we slept great. Only downside was paying for parking and the walls are thin so we woke up several times to neighbors slamming the doors. Staff was nice and helpful. Rooms were cleaned and restocked daily, really enjoyed the service.
