Just off of the interstate with access to multiple places to stock up on a trip, get some gas, or grab something to nearby. We ate the the walk-able Cracker Barrel after check-in and had the breakfast buffet at the Holiday Inn Express the next day. There's even a pool. Staff were very friendly and everything was clean. We sat in the lobby chatting with people with free coffee and lots of seating. A positive experience.
