Breakfast was fine. There was a worker there named Teresa. She went above and beyond to make my stay great. I forgot my phone charger, toothbrush, and toothpaste. She found all of those items for me. This woman was so kind and also made others feel welcome while I ate breakfast. She deserves a huge raise! We will definitely be back.

    The location was great for my needs. The staff that I did interact with were fine but it was really only upon check in. I did say good morning to a breakfast staff but he may not have heard me as he did not respond. Beds were really comfortable.

    Excellent breakfast, easy to find location. We were quickly greeted when we got there and found our room to be comfortable and relatively quiet. We were surprised to find it at such a good price for the time of our visit - we were there the weekend of a football game and All State so campus was very busy.

    My husband and I were very tired. We had a difficult and long journey. We needed to stop and take a breather. We found this hotel. We really liked the location. Calm and quiet! The service staff is very polite and attentive. The staff responded to our various requests instantly! Having breakfast was also nice! We were not able to enjoy all the services of the hotel, as we only stayed to sleep. But I definitely put this hotel on my radar☺️. Thank you. Sincerely, Lana and Paul Pausig
