We enjoyed our stay and staff was friendly. The only complaint I had is when we asked for extra towels hours went by before we got them. Other than that, it was great.

Clean but small.
The hotel was clean but the pictures were a little deceptive. The reception area was small, and the I had paid for a room with a king bed and was given two queens. The room was smaller than most Holiday In Expresses that we have stated at as well. The hotel at some point was remodeled but it still had that 1970’s or 1980’s smell and vibe for a hotel. The room was clean but the bathroom floor had some sort of sticky residue. The breakfast was the best one we’ve had in a while and the staff was friendly. Parking lot is small and we drive a stock F250 and barely fit so large vehicles be advised it has 7’ and 8’ maximum heights and the parking is located under the hotel. Over all it was ok, it was a decent price for the area but I probably won’t stay here again.

Hard to find
Nice breakfast, decent room. But almost impossible to find! I drove past it several times because it looks like a garage not a hotel.

Great place!
The night desk clerk wasn't super friendly, but the clerk in AM was great. Room was very clean and stocked with refrigerator, microwave, hairdryer, etc. The best of all were the full-sized shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, handwash, and body lotion dispenser...Dove products.

I was pretty happy with the property we stayed at. My problem was with Expedia. When I booked my room it showed that there was a jetted tub available. I paid the extra money just to have use of the tub. Before checking in I was informed by the property staff that they had no room with that description and advised me to contact Expedia. Expedia said they tried to get in contact with the property manager and said they could not get in contact with them. There fore I paid $70 more for something I didn’t get.
