9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,277 reviews)
There are nice updated rooms and it is quiet when I have been there. I don't go during football or basketball season. The restaurant had a buffet breakfast on Saturday morning. There is only one free breakfast per room, and we paid for a second one. Not really impressed with breakfast.
