Great prices, great staff, safe location, excellent experience!
Pros:

The nicest people work here! After 10 hours on the road to arrive at this place I couldn't be anymore pleased. I was welcomed with a great smile, and kindness. They seemed really happy that I was there. I would recommend this place to everyone. Breakfast at the restaurant(I had waffles) was delicious! They had a nice continental breakfast, and the restaurant was also available for dinners (including happy hour).

Cons:

I liked everything. The place is older, but the fact that it allowed my dog in the hotel, at no additional cost, is such a peace of mind.

All you need for a pleasant stay.
Pros:

I liked that overall my room was quiet (considerate guests overall). The room had everything I wanted: coffee maker, refrigerator and a TV with a remote. There was a round table by the window for reading, writing and eating. I told the man at the office I had a problem with my AC and he fixed it promptly. I was able to plug in my sleep machine, phone and fitbit chargers with ease and the lighting of the room was good. I bring a small memory foam pillow along on trips in case the pillows aren’t quite right for me and worked wonders with their two pillows. The room had secure locks, yay! I saw they have a water bottle filler station by the front office. The complimentary breakfast had scrambled eggs which were well-prepared. They had bagel, cream cheese, muffins and pineapple as well. (no bacon :)) haha, wish)

Cons:

The parking spots are close together with little wiggle room. The phone in the room wasn’t working which reminds me to put the (or a ) motel’s phone number in your cell phone when you check in. Fortunately, I didn’t need to make a call. I heard a dog barking for ten minutes or so and thankfully that was it!
