The building is clean and well maintained. Service competent and polite. Room was quiet, bed comfortable, showers hot, heater worked great- no reason to complain at all. Convenient access to major highways, restaurants, fuel but you don't hear the highway or the road. Parking area is well lit and has security cameras- 24/7 staff which is nice. I'd stay there again.

The breakfast was very poor quality, with no labels to indicate what the food was. The furnishings, like the curtains and bed, were old, worn-out, and looked dirty.
