Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Easy to find location. Friendly check in staff. Motorcycle friendly parking. Rooms were pretty good. Had an actual coffee pot. Good water pressure. Only complaint would be the place is very noisy. People being loud until late in the night and then again very early in the morning. Otherwise it's worth the stop.”
