The young lady at the front desk, Emily, was fantastic. They had a slight hiccup with the elevators and she quickly came up with a room on the ground floor. She was very helpful helping us find a restaurant. BUT... The bath tub doesn't drain well. I'd recommend this hotel to others and we'd stay here again.

Convenient off the highway

Emily at the front desk was friendly and welcoming. Hotel is right off the highway which is convenient but it also means there is nothing to walk to. one of the elevators was out of order which was inconvenient. Oddly there was no soap dish in the shower.

Decent experience

Good location, with low road noise considering how close it is to a major interstate. Decent breakfast. Lots of little issues with the room - crooked/loose toilet paper holder, broken hook on back of bathroom door, ripped comforter on bed, only 1 operational elevator. I would stay here again, but not with my family. We were on the top floor and there were multiple times over our 3 night stay when the "roof access" door was left open and a very apparent 'smoke' smell filled the entire top floor.
