We stayed for two nights on our way west, one at the beginning of our trip and one at the end. We stayed in two different rooms. Both rooms were great! The honor bar is a great feature. Parking is easy in and out. Would be nice if the bathroom doors would stay shut when closed, but compared to some recent travels, this hotel is priced well, has great large rooms, and was a complete pleasure!
