"The room was much nicer than expected. Looks like it was newly remodeled. There was remodeling being done in the halls but there wasn’t an issue. The tv worked but it would not connect to the direct tv so I could not watch anything. Bed was comfortable and clean, shower and towels were very clean as well. Lots of parking lot space for bigger vehicles or trailers. And quite a few close fast food options. I would stay again."
