Stayed here while working in the area and the staff was super friendly. The rooms were as expected for this hotel chain. Breakfast and coffee was fresh each morning and the building is close to many local businesses and restaurants.

My family and I stayed here while visiting family for Thanksgiving. This is not a 3 or 4 stat Hotel, but it does have it where it counts bed firm mattress to hard for my taste. The shower had to let the water run for a few to warm up. The cleanliness is eh.They start the continental at 6, and it shuts down at 10 am. They serve something powder, eggs, sausage, English muffin, cereal yogurt, and fruit, and yes, you can make your own waffles. I've shared some pictures below.

The room was nice and clean. The front desk rep was awesome! The location was a bit far, but it was worth it. Thank you, Comfort Inn!

I’ve stayed here enough times to say that the hotel is clean and quiet. Beds are comfortable TV Has plenty of channel options. I would also commend Mr. Matos at the front desk. He was polite, friendly, and accommodating. When I’m in this part of the country, I usually stay here

The motel is conveniently located near hwy 40. The breakfast area is clean. The breakfast is good, but not the best. The rooms are large and the beds are comfortable. The motel is used by contractors for their stay. There is plenty of parking. The staff are friendly.

The shower room was very clean and ready for immediate use. Bed are comfy, with a variation in pillow types. We did notice some staining on a couple sheets but looked more like rust vs. bodily fluid left over. Smokers are definitely present in hotel, the smell will be present on and off. Carpets looked decently cared for compared to most in this brand. Location is close to many things, including Walmart strip mall only 15 minutes away.
