We stayed overnight while on a trip. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We could park right in front of our room, which is nice. Food and gas was nearby. It wasn’t fancy, but I felt like I was in a good spot.

pretty bare bones room, but clean and comfortable. The price reflected the bare bones, which I appreciated, and though not plush, my room had everything I needed. The man who checked me in was friendly, courteous, and efficient.
