A lot of false advertising.

Liked: Hotel and rooms were clean.
Disliked: Booking.com advertises this hotel as having an elevator. There is no elevator. We were traveling with two people that a second floor room was an issue, but did not require a handicapped room. The staff at check-in told us all rooms on the first floor were taken or reserved, and that it was our fault for reserving the hotel through Booking.com. Otherwise we could have requested a first floor. We had reserved 3 rooms, and the hotel website and Booking.com advertise the beds as pillow tops. One room had a pillow top but the other 2 were nothing more than plywood with springs popping through. The showers were less than acceptable. Hardly a drizzle coming from shower heads.

Very clean, comfortable, and the...

Liked: The breakfast was fine, and had lots of options. (I would have preferred more no sugar options such as bran cereal, but the oatmeal was good. Would have preferred plain yogurt, rather than flavored.)

Could have been better.

Liked: The pros: good location. Decent selection of food close by, right off the highway. Great staff and friendly. Good breakfast The cons: sold us a queen sized bed, but they provided a broken lumpy full size bed. The shower head needs a good deep cleaning and sprayed water everywhere. There was dirt in every corner.
