We would stay again.
Pros:

The lady behind the desk when we checked in was very friendly and we talked a bit about some shared interests. The room was nice and clean. This is an older establishment but they have done some sprucing up. It was comfortable and the price was right for a one night stay. The breakfast was good for what we offered. If you looking for a Ritzy place to stay. This is not it. But if you're looking for a place to stop for a night or two on your way to wherever that won't break your budget, It's a good place for a great price.

Cons:

I don't have anything negative to say. It's an older place that has been recently painted and some newer amenities and they keep it clean with a very friendly staff.

Adequate but disappointing breakfast.
Pros:

The location is very convenient. Room was adequate and comfortable. Breakfast was not up to expectations.

Cons:

Once again, breakfast was disappointing from previous visits. When I went down only an hour after serving started, there was only 1 slice of white bread left, and no other bread choices. Only 1 serving of eggs left and they were overdone and dry. There were 2 juice choices but only 1 carafe of regular coffee. There were 2 choices of cold cereal which included 1 more adult choice. There were a few more food choices but, overall, not the breakfast available when I first started staying here on my trips.

Keep looking
Pros:

Fairly clean, good location, AC worked well. Decent soundproofing.

Cons:

Very passive staff, reluctant to help in the most basic of ways. Hugely disappointing quality overall. For example, breakfast was powdered scrambled eggs, meat, and coffee. Forget decaf, hot water, flavored creamer, etc. Towels in room were thinner than washcloths, water pressure was nonexistent, and sheets were very rough. Both rooms had mildew on bathtub floor due to remaining adhesive from non slip strips..

Decent
Pros:

Stopped through on the way driving from Texas to Ohio. Stayed for the night. Convenient location. Very friendly staff! Large room with a king size bed, a couch and an arm chair.

Cons:

The mattress was incredibly firm. If that's your jam, this is for you! We had a rough night with the mattress but it did what we needed to do which was get a couple winks before getting on the road again.
