This hotel was very clean. Room was large. Door let quite a bit of light and noise from hallway in. Breakfast was good but for the price of the room, could have had a few more options. Overall our stay was pleasant.

This a nice hotel with excellent breakfast choices. Much better than the HIExpress and Fairfield hotels I recently stayed at in NE Ohio. The room was very clean and attractive.

Off main road hotel surrounded by other basic travel hotels. Little dinning options so far out of town but there are a few choices down the road. Found a great indian curry about 1 mile down road.
