Location was close to interstate.
Prevalent smell of smoke everywhere.

I don't look for much in a hotel, but this one was underwhelming. Smells of cigarette smoke everywhere and I was in a non-smoking room. Phone didn't work. To say the desk clerk was unfriendly would be understated. Noisy heater in the room. Could hear water running in the rooms adjacent to mine. Poor TV selection. No coffee pot in room. It was close to the interstate which helped facilitate my leaving the next morning. ...read more

I liked the hour of checkout.
The front desk person indirectly insulted me.

Price & convenience to Interstate highway.
At 6:30 am it sounded like a smoke alarm went off next door.

Friendly staff, convenient location to I-80. Clean, good continental breakfast. Room spacious, and clean with easy access to parking.

Bed was very comfortable.
Breakfast was mediocre but okay.

Would have preferred parking closer to entrance in a more open area.
