Liked being able to park in front of the room (it was a motel, not hotel). We had a cooler and luggage to haul in. Even though it was right next to the highway, it was very quiet. Bed was comfy and breakfast was good, sausage and eggs with all the other options…cereal, bagels, etc. There was a lot for RV’s and trucks, as well

Great overnight stay. So many surprises! We traveled towing a boat, tons of parking to accommodate us. Cameras around so we felt very safe. Madi at the front desk greeted us with her beautiful smile and helpful attitude. The lobby, the room, were cleaned and smelled heavenly. Love their scent. Linda in the break room cooked a perfect breakfast and was so friendly. If we cube this way again, we will choose here.
