Very clean & well lit room. Loved the reading lights. The morning desk gal asked me a couple of times if I needed help with our luggage. My husband enjoyed the variety at breakfast. The heater was noisy.

The room was clean and comfortable. It was surprisingly quiet even though it was next to the freeway. Decent breakfast. Customer service was ok. Was charged twice and not told there was a pet fee. Not a bad stay.

Wonderful check in with Braden (sp) He's a keeper! So kind and helpful. He does his job well. All pros,no cons. Excellent hotel. We have stayed her many times on our way to Wyoming to visit family. Great room. Comfy bed. Check out clerk was just as nice as Braden. Your staff makes you feel welcomed, they are happy to help you. Breakfast is typical for "free breakfast" but was well maintained and stocked. Kudos to the person who does that job.

Was very reasonable - we paid $106 tax included. I would say the hotel was great for that price - perhaps a bit dated and worn but it was still clean and the breakfast was very good, staff was very friendly.

This is a basic hotel, let's say 3 star. It was very clean, check in fast & easy, breakfast was good. Room was a good size, towels & sheets good quality. For a 3 star, it was 4-5 stars. I'd definitely stay again!
