FANTASTIC HOTEL. Very clean rooms, with updated furnishings and decor. The lobby has a nice little fireplace with soft chairs, and fresh coffee and hot chocolate 24 hours a day. Breakfast was nice (simple but plenty of offerings hot and cold) and the staff was friendly, helpful, and kind.
Overall, fantastic and way better than the average roadside hotel.

Clean, basic.
Basic but more than adequate accommodations that was perfect for a one night stay. Clean though dated. If you want a straight to the point, no frills stay that is clean and warm, stay here.

Overall very pleased with our accommodation. Staff are friendly, room was clean, bed was comfy, and was surprisingly quiet considering how close it is to the freeway. TV didn’t work (no signal), but wasn’t a huge issue for us.
