"Bed was comfy and so were pillows."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
We stopped on our way to funeral in Wisconsin. We were just too tired to go further. The rate was welcoming. At check in we had a female all smiles, very helpful and quickly getting us checked in. She also let us know there was juice, Capaccino and coffee 24 hours. Went to our room and wow! So clean. We have been to many that were filthy and so pleased to see clean. We immediately were able to relax. Bed was comfy and so were pillows.
