It was clean and with a friendly staff. Breakfast was simple sausage gravy biscuits eggs and bacon. With bagels and breads. Nothing fancy but biscuits were fresh and warm and the sausage gravy had good flavor. Perfect for a one night stay. Will stay there again. Pet friendly as well. We had our 2 small dogs with us

Person at front desk was exceptional!! We only stayed one night as it was a stop in a 1100 mile road trip for a place to sleep, shower and have breakfast. It was better than expected. We saved this as being our regular stop on our northbound trips in future.
