The staff at the desk were helpful and checking in and out was fast and easy. My room was clean, quiet, and spacious. I only stayed one night, just to have a bed and a shower, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The property looked nice and spacious as well. I think it should be advertised more clearly that the hotel is right next to some train tracks. I didn't mind them passing by, but others might not like the noise.

Don’t Stay Here

It’s outdated, has a mildew smell as soon as you open the door, and it’s got an infestation of centipedes. I regret having to write this but my stay was very unpleasant

Driving late and had to find a place to stop. This place was great. Clean, very comfortable, easy on and off highway, friendly staff, affordable! Our stay was brief but we were toward the back and there is a lovely courtyard with an outdoor pool.
