Convenient Stopover

great receptionisthelpful receptionistunderstanding receptionistgreat location
The receptionist, Kerry, was great and super helpful. She was cheerful and a great person to greet me after a long drive. I had a last minute room change, the receptionist was very understanding and found a room downstairs for me. The location and price were great also.
I noticed a few rusty marks in the bath. It could use some attention.
