It is really rural. However, we got excellent service at the IHop restaurant. Not a lot to do in the winter or on a Sunday. More of a university town.

Quiet and clean. Easy to get to. Rooms seem newly redone. Barebones on extras like lobby and breakfast but perfect for a cheap stay. Fridge in room too. Bonus
