"It’s an older hotel going thru renovations and there was a crew painting the exterior during our stay so there was some noise from them working. The breakfast is more continental but had the powdered scramble eggs and link sausages. The nightly cost was in line with the amenities tho. The beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. The staff seemed to be wearing multiple hats so sometimes they weren’t at the front desk. The hotel sits right on the highway so you get noise from the semi rigs braking but with the window closed it was quiet. The windows would open to allow for fresh air which I really prefer."
