Good hotel, clean and comfortable in an industrial area.
Pros:

Comfortable bed, everything worked in the room (lights, tv, etc. ) very good coffee at breakfast. Staff were helpful and recommended a restaurant.

Cons:

The breakfast was okay. I would have preferred regular scrambled eggs to ones made with cheese. The sausage was tough. The hotel is located in an industrial area, not at all attractive or scenic.

As usual the stay was fine. When available we try to use your hotel chain
Pros:

Unfortunately we had to leave early and didn’t get to have the breakfast. I did like the hotel being close to the highway.

Cons:

There was one problem. In the bathroom around the toilet there were spots and sticky stains looked like urine. We were going to call down about it but I cleaned it myself.
