Friendly interactions with staff and a clean environment were the highlights of our stay. Would mention that the size and comfort of the mattress effected our sleep negatively and could stand to be updated.

The rooms are like home away from home and the pantry for items forgotten or that quick snack is well stocked. Felt safe and comfortable on the site and close to local amenities off major rood and highway.
