"This appears to be an older property that has been updated/refreshed. The room was clean and pretty comfortable. It's right on a busy highway, though, and is a bit noisy. The bed was comfortable, but it was very squeaky and made a lot of noise whenever I or my husband moved. We left before the breakfast was put out, so I can't comment on that. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we were allowed to check in early."
