Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was super friendly. The check-in and check-out process was easy. There were plenty of parking spots, and the room was clean. Continental breakfast was okay, but they charged for water and apple juice. We stayed only two nights, and the breakfast consisted of a Jimmie Dean breakfast sandwich, Danish, banana, and Kurig coffee both days the same. Overall, a good place to stay for the prices in the area. Close to a few food establishments that offered entertainment.
