Stop over to Las Vegas
Really good hotel on our stop off over to Las Vegas. Rooms where large and clean and beds were comfortable would definitely recommend this hotel.
Breakfast was good and the children loved making the pancakes and waffles.

Clean, comfortable and a free breakfast!
We have come here several times to break up our driving trips. The rooms are immaculate and the beds are comfortable. We always get a great nights sleep. We come here for the excellent free breakfast too. The fresh ground coffee is better than Starbucks!

Great place for the cost.
Clean room. Helpful at front desk. Nice hot breakfast. The rooms are large. We have stayed at this property before and will most likely stay there again. It is a nice property for the cost.

Friendly staff, clean and well kept, nice complementary breakfast, rooms well kept modern and nice. My only gripe would be the stain in the carpet in the room made me feel that the carpet was dingy.
