The Hotel was very clean .The staff was very friendly. However, the surrounding area had a lot of crazy drivers. Also, the bathroom door in the room was heavily scratched up and did not lock.

Room was very nice and comfortable. Check-in was okay with the exception of the desk clerk. VERY unfriendly. The two young men on the front desk that evening were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Complimentary breakfast was very good.
