Value. Toast, coffee and cereal all included in the 54 bucks! Placed on interstate side. Business across the street gave off an odor.

This is a typical road side hotel that has not been updated in two decades. The sheets were clean and the staff friendly. For the price it was better than I expected.

Not first choice, but served it's purpose. Door handle only worked by pulling up, not the typical down movement. It was okay.
