Not the worst but not the best....
Asked for a room on the top floor weeks in advance and although I know it's not a given, all the lady on the front desk could say was that they were fully booked???? (she was Miss Personality for sure) and as I thought there was a herd of elephants wearing hob nailed boots in the room above. Why can't they build a hotel with good soundproofing???? surely in 2024 they should've come up with an answer? The bed seemed small for a Queen, the fridge was loud which seems to be a given. The crockery and glasses had been washed in a slapdash manner. The water was scalding hot which I kinda liked but not sure it would've been good to a small child. The room was clean, it was lacking in towels, two very small and thin bath towels and one hand towel. Free coffee in the lobby, the bold blend was indeed bold.... The Red Roof Inn behind the hotel appears to be budget housing or migrant housing. There was a bunch of kids playing soccer on the car park and the ball managed to hit a few cars in the preferred parking spots back there. All in all not the worst place I've stayed in and thankful that I didn't get a room with a connecting door!

The room was clean and spacious. However, it was a bit noisy and it would be great if the wind from air conditioner could be directed away from the bed.

Perfectly comfortable overnight stay
This was just a quick overnight stop over on our way to Canada but we enjoyed how comfortable and roomy everything was. We had a full size refrigerator in our room, a desk with two comfortable chairs and even a toaster. We slept so well. Everything was perfect!

Probably wouldn't stay here again
Our room had a funny smell. There were dog toys around the room (under the pull out couch and chair). We had to wait until the evening to get sheets for the pull out and then make it ourselves (not really a big deal but they wouldn't give us extra pillows for the bed). The bedroom sheets had what looked like dog hair on them. The beds (main and pull out) were pretty uncomfortable.
It's a basic hotel. It was a decent price.
