Great stop to stay for the night while passing through. Clean rooms and bathrooms, decent breakfast. The lady maintaining breakfast seemed easily overwhelmed with it all and couldn’t keep up with breakfast for people. That was the only downside was her seeming exasperated with the whole breakfast duty but the hotel was clean and front desk was nice and helpful. I’d stay again.
