I thought it was clean and the breakfast was good. It was near a highway so you can hear the cars at night. The receptionist wasn't able to allow early check in or extend our check out. She said there was a tournament and she had no flexibility.

Staff was great. Rooms are very clean. Rooms could use a little bit of maintenance. Our room was missing a picture over the desk that was clearly knocked down. Didn't effect the quality of the room, just little things that need to be done.
