I don't think I've ever stayed in a hotel that had a room with 3 queen beds. It was nice that no one had to sleep on an uncomfortable sofa sleeper. The room was large and really clean. It also had a nice balcony, nice plus.

Cassidy

Very nicely updated. Everything was clean & comfy, and in good repair. The soaps & lotion had a light citrus scent, and were in large bottles attached to the wall (better than struggling with the little dinky tubes imo).

Kelly

the facility was clean and comfortable. the location was easy to get to off the highway. it was located near stores and restaurants. all in all it was a good stay. it was also quiet in the hotel and outside the hotel.

Rumrill

The hotel had been remodeled from I stayed before. Having free breakfast was nice and it was better than some smaller hotels breakfasts. Room was clean and quiet. Parking was good. Good location.

Aaron

It was super clean and smelled super fresh and floral. The front desk man was soft spoken and super helpful and gave us a parking spot within eyes view of our room so we could keep an eye on it
