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.

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.
