Room was well priced for 1 night. The pet fee was a little high but not as bad as some other hotels that charge $50 a night. All staff were very friendly. Got there at 8:45pm and fortunately the pool was open until 9:30pm, not 9pm, so we got to use it. The room was clean, quiet and well maintained. The hot breakfast was nice, not the biggest selection I've seen but still lots of food. The location near the highway was great and the surrounding area with other hotels and a walking path around a lake was great for walking our dog in the morning.

Room was clean and comfortable. Beds were great. A little noisy at times. Good selection of breakfast food. Tables were dirty though. Carpet needed to be replaced. Trip hazzard.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast available: cereal, yogurt, waffles, eggs, biscuits and gravy, and various drinks. Indoor pool, but they keep the room hot. Easy access to rooms. Located near interstate. Beds were comfortable. Only one ice machine. No vending machines, but plenty of food options nearby. Room was clean, but found one bug over the three night stay. Could use some paint touch ups. Would stay again.
