Not impressed

Beds were not very comfortable. Bathroom looked like it needed a deep cleaning. It did the trick for an overnight on the way to a wedding further north, but overall I wasn't very impressed.

Very quiet in a newer residential area. Within a mile of restaurants. Close to Grays Lake for an evening stroll or bike ride. Shuttle service to take you anywhere within 2 miles of the hotel. Nice continental breakfast area. Used the pool, hot tub and fitness center- no issues with anything.
