We were checking in after 11PM, but they called us with instructions how to get into our room. The room and the location of the hotel were excellent. Will definitely stay again if in the vicinity.

Much better than expected for a small town in the middle of nowhere.
I liked the inside hallway for added safety. The cinder block walls provided good sound proofing.
My bed was softer than I prefer but overall comfortable.
Staff were extremely helpful and friendly
