Sadly breakfast on a Saturday ended at 9am so we missed this benefit. Newer property, nice building, very specious room and bathroom. Not many dinning options close by. Allowed us to check in several hours early without any hassle

This hotel looks new, the carpets are fresh and the paint is bright. Nice rooms, large bathroom with stone countertop, with lots of counter space. The breakfast was good, too--fried eggs, sausage links and home fries, with coffee and juice. It was everything that I needed at a great price.
