This is the perfect spot for an individual on a business trip, however, it offered little for families. The hotel was clean, but the breakfast was very sparse and we were told each morning of our 3 night stay to, "go across the street if you want coffee-we are out." While the price was right, we would most likely not choose this place to stay again.

The staff there was super friendly now problem checking in or out at all. Room was very muggy and overall not the cleanest. Breakfast they provide is not the best.

I have traveled extensively through the lower 48 states. For the money, this is the best hotel I have found. The suites are like a one bedroom apartment with a spacious bedroom and two nice queen beds. Kitchen, work area and living room. If they added bananas to the free breakfast the place would be PERFECT!

Very clean rooms. Very nice staff. A lot better than expected. We had 2 rooms. And my mother was worried because of some of the reviews. But loved her room as much as we loved ours once we got there.
