Very impressed with the service and cleanliness at this hotel. It was exactly what we needed for a quick night’s rest on our family road trip. Lots of options for breakfast.

There was plenty of parking, adjustable air/heat, big cozy beds and all the amenities a person would require. There is no elevators in Comfort Inns so prepare to carry your bags up at least one floor. Breakfast was good.

Clean, comfortable hotel. Only complaint is about the room doors. When they slam shut it sounds like someone is pounding on the door. This was unsettling, to say the least.

During this trip, I stayed at many hotels, and this hotel had the worst service. The front desk seemed to treat guests differently based on their background, which made the experience uncomfortable. On top of that, it was the only hotel that required providing a home address and a deposit, and interestingly, not every guest was asked for this—some were asked while others were not. Overall, I would not recommend staying here.
