The hotel looked a little older, but it was surprisingly clean and comfortable. It’s located next to a truck stop, which made it very convenient for us. I would definitely recommend it as a stop along the highway

This hotel was great to stay at. For the price it had everything that i'd need. The rooms were very clean, my sheets smelled a little like cigarettes but nobody is supposed smoke inside the rooms anyway so I can't blame the workers too much for that. The service was great, came in at check in time and there was a worker there to help me immediately and i was in the door and in my room within 10 minutes. The location is great as I can get gas station goods as well as good food (the subway nearby has great service too). Does not deserve to be labeled as a 2 star hotel and deserves a higher rating. Thank you

Honestly I'm surprised about all the poor reviews. We felt this was the biggest bang for our buck we have seen in a long time. The room was clean, the staff was very friendly, the price was good for what was offered. Thats what we are comparing right? I would absolutely stay here again. Also we forgot our pillows and they held them for a month for us! Super thankful!

The building looks a little old-fashioned, but it was very well maintained. Clean rooms and comfy beds. The nearby truck stop made food and fuel easy to access.
