“The location off the Interstate makes it a practical stop, and I appreciate the friendly, efficient front desk, especially Cheyenne, who seems to go the extra mile. While some rooms might need attention-soundproofing or carpet replacement-the clean, spacious rooms offer good value. It's a solid choice if you prioritize convenience and attentive service.”
