"The rooms are small and basic, but they have been recently renovated and the bed was very comfortable. The portable AC unit was quite loud, but it did a good job of drowning out the road noise, which was actually a plus for sleeping. Breakfast was fairly basic, and the pancake maker was very slow, making only two pancakes at a time. On the plus side, the French Vanilla Latte was awesome! Overall, a decent stay for the price. Hopefully housekeeping is doing a thorough deep clean between guests to keep the newly renovated rooms feeling fresh."
