Large rooms feature flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges; Suites offer wet bars and some have jetted tubs. However, some rooms lack natural sunlight and can be noisy. Some guests prefer the rooms at the Hampton Inn, so it's worth comparing rates.
Scene
Large, budget hotel popular with vacationers and business travelers alike
The three-floor hotel -- with lawns, pine trees, picnic tables, and two barbecue grills -- has more amenities than average for a hotel of its type. The large outdoor parking lot in front accommodates big-rig trucks, with wheelchair accessible parking located toward the rear of the inn. The lobby is typical of an affordable chain hotel, with electronic glass doors and a wooden front desk. An adjacent 24-hour hospitality room has free Starbucks coffee, comfy chairs, a microwave, a computer, and a printer. The casual breakfast room features red vinyl chairs, high chairs, a flat-screen TV and large buffet counters with waffle makers, toasters, and juice and coffee machines. Hallways, though, are dimly lit and past visitors have reported faint smells of cigarette smoke.
