Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our room was nice and clean and gave us plenty of room to spread out and relax. Bed was big and comfortable. Having the dog run was great! Our dog enjoyed running around after the long road trip. Breakfast was fine, with several choices, par for the course. The area surrounding the hotel is not that great, but we felt safe. The place was easy to find and the location was convenient for us.
