Good value
Hotel is older but fairly well updated and maintained. The onsite restaurant was really convenient after a long day of driving. Breakfast was above average for this level of hotel - we enjoyed the omelet station and good coffee. Staff were all friendly and accommodating.

Great place breakfast needs extra help
Great place
Clean great pool and jacuzzi
The breakfast is great but very busy
There should be another person helping
Ran out of orange juice and pastries and one waffle iron is definitely not enough for many guests maybe a second one would help

Great stop
Upon arrival I was greeted by the people at the front desk. The young woman that waited on myself was very pleasant. Got us checked in and on the way to our room it was very nice. The hallways were clean and the room was very nice and clean. This was definitely a place that puts pride in their property. I will definitely stay again and would highly recommend this place to travelers.
