Nothing fancy, but clean, tidy, and comfortable. Although it's on the main highway, it's set back from the road, so traffic noise wasn't an issue for me. It was exactly what I needed for a comfortable overnight stay and a good night's rest before getting back on the road in the morning. I'd happily stay again.
