Very clean! Hotel has been updated & every thing is very nice & fresh. Hotel staff was very accommodating when the TV, refrigerator & microwave wouldn’t work. Someone had removed the adapter. The staff immediately moved us to another room across the hall. The usual breakfast which was as good as any. No charge for our dog. Will definitely stay there again

Overall room was clean except for the tub was dated so appeared dirty. Check in/out was a little awkward due to language barrier and staff member could not explain that receipt would come from Expedia. Good option if you need a reasonable room for night with easy highway access.
