Good place to stay
Staff was very friendly and helpful. We had requested extra pullows and they were waiting in our room at check in.
Breakfast staff was extra helpful.
Bathroom showed signs of wear;showerhead full of buildup and sprinkler rusty. TV had adhesive residue on the front.
Bed and pullows were comfortable. Free breakfast selection good. We felt safe.
Located by fast food, gas, and a cheese store.
