I would not stay there again. Sort or mostly remodeled but not complete or at least some things done properly . Reminded me of roadside dive ok for one single night and definitely not worth the money I paid. Definitely not one place you forget the world around you. Not well lit at night . Next to highway. Not exactly exuding safe feeling.

I really wanted to like this place as it's very convenient but it just was okay. The room was not clean, sheets and towels were stained. The heat was not great, the hotel just felt tired. Nice to have good wifi and hot water. The highlight was the staff, super friendly and helpful. You could not ask for better staff.
