Best sleep off the highway
I had been driving all day and wanted a place close to the highway to sleep. I booked a room here. It was the best sleep I had all week. The bed was comfortable, the fan and temperature for me were perfect and it was so quiet!

Great check-in
The check-in was a simple process and we were offered a little goody bag, despite the poor guy being on crutches to put it together. The room was clean and the bathroom seemed new.

Great stay
Gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and welcoming. Check in was quick. Hotel was clean and quiet. Our room was clean. Bed was too hard for my liking but that was my only issue (and I'm a wuss).
