"Very nice and clean."

Hotel was very nice, friendly staff and very clean. You can tell it's had recent renovations. I called the day of arrival and asked for an early check in and they were very accommodating and my room was ready when I arrived.

"Absolutely Loved This Location!"

I was so lucky to get the last room of the night. I had talked to somebody on customer service telephone line to help book a reservation and they went over and above to get me this room at a price that I could live with, so I was really thankful to him. Everything was perfect, too. I love the location. It's so convenient. I was gassed up and back on the highway within minutes of leaving the hotel. Everything was super clean. I mean really clean! This is an excellent IHG and I will definitely be through here again.
