Booked this room for my employees who were working around the area. Was told the bathroom had mold and that the room wasn’t clean. We’re pretty easy to please but cleanliness is one of the utmost importance for us after a long day at work in the construction field. Hopefully these items can be resolved for future guests

Everything was good. Clean and comfortable. Nice and friendly staff. Liked that you couldn’t hear outside noise. Bathroom could use some upgrades on the extras like the toilet paper holder. But overall was worth it. This is our second time staying here.

Parking was good, the breakfast was 2 Cereal options, Oatmeal packets, Activia, oranges, cereal bars, packaged muffins... The room could have been cleaner but the beds were always made. I could hear the highway sometimes over my sound machine. The black out curtains were nice. It's convenient being near the highway.
