We had a late check-in (after midnight). But the night clerk happily checked us in for the evening, informed us of breakfast, and wished us a good night.

This is an old hotel in need of updating. It’s a main stay for construction workers and truckers, breakfast was surprisingly good and customer service was excellent.

Good value overall. Better breakfast options than other hotels I’ve stayed at in the area. Comfortable bed and pillows. Nothing fancy but perfectly acceptable for my 1-night stay. I’ve stayed at this BW a few times over the years and will likely return In the future.

Calm and friendly staff all the way thru - nice and quiet! Room was cleaned and very tidy each day. Breakfast was very filling and full meal.
The air conditioner did not work properly, however the maintenance man came in and got things working quickly.

Great experience!
Very nice, modern accommodations with a very professional young woman at the check in desk. Room was immaculate and nicely furnished. Breakfast was better than average, but the dining area was exceptional for a motel in this price range.

This site is acceptable, however, the wireless internet crucial for my stay was virtually non-working. If this is a business friendly site, internet access for business is crucial. Elevator was not working when we arrived & was minimally functional to our 4th floor room by the time we left.
