This is a great place to stay at a very affordable price. The breakfast buffet has an excellent selection, rooms were very clean, beds comfortable and no fee for parking. Also there’s a little mall like 2 mins drive away with a number of restaurants surrounding it and a convenient Target. Would highly recommend!
