Staff friendly. Room spacious and clean. Bed comfortable. Fridge did not work and it was late so didn’t complain. Very noisy on the interstate side. Beginning at 4:30 am, trucks were revving up to leave. Only one elevator and it sounded like it was about to break down.

Excellent hotel for the money. The staff was pleasant and helpful, the room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the breakfast was great.

We asked for extra pillows and blankets. We were told to come back to the desk in a little bit and pick them up. They were in garbage bags and handed to us, we had to put our own pillowcases on them. They were just folded in the bags. The door keys were replaced 3 times because they didn’t work. The air conditioner didn’t work so we asked about it and was told. Its fine even though it was just blowing room temperature. They didn’t have anyone look at it but told us we could use a fan. The cable was out until we went to bed around 9ish and then the next morning when I mentioned it i was told that it came on later that night if i had been up later I would have been able to watch it. Was a very uncomfortable/unpleasant situation.

Hotel was nice, beds were comfy and breakfast was good. Our room faced the highway and you heard truck horns and traffic a lot. The hotel was clean, but our room could have used a wet mop in the bathroom. It was clear that had not been done in awhile. Price was a little higher than what I normally pay, but overall, I would stay here again.

I was here for a business trip and this location was central to every place that I wanted to go and every restaurant and store wanted to visit. I was very pleased with how friendly all of the staff was ALL THE TIME. The welcome sign over the coffee station and the cookies were a nice added touch to make everyone feel invited. I especially enjoyed the breakfast which was delicious as well as server who wrote sweet messages on the bananas. I wish I could have stayed longer, because everything was meticulously maintained and beautiful.

This was perfect for an overnight stay on our way to vacation. Kids got to sleep, burn off energy and adults were able to get a break driving.

We had some issues with our room. The smoke alarm was beeping at 2am and the window frame was leaking water from the frame and puddling on the AC unit. We used a towel to stop the drip noise but the entire window needs fixed. Regardless of these two issues that caused us to have a non-restful night, the staff were AMAZING. Felicia at the front desk was polite, listened to my concerns. The hotel was ok, but the staff deserve recognition with their superior customer service. Also, the breakfast was good and kind staff as well. A variety of foods for our family of 4 (pancakes, eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, yogurt options, milk, juices, coffee...all the things you expect!).

Our stay was great. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful.
My only complaint is that we put some items from our cooler into the room mini fridge and when we packed up this morning, it was barely cold.
We had to throw away a good portion of our road snacks for my daughter.

We stayed at this hotel twice and we were very impressed. The staff was friendly, hotel was clean, and the breakfast was delicious. There were many dining options surrounding the hotel. It was very quiet and we appreciated that because we have a little baby. The parking area was well lit and it felt very safe.
