Pros

Free Express Start breakfast with hot items

Interior corridor design enhances security

“I found this hotel to have particularly clean and generously sized rooms, which I consider a real advantage. The hot breakfast impressed me, and while the location is just off the interstate, a clearer sign would certainly be helpful. Overall, though, the comfort and service made it a worthwhile stay in my opinion.”
