I liked that it was right off the highway easy to find. The staff was nice and friendly very knowledgeable. I really didn't have to go out to eat. They had their own restaurant. But when I did go out everything was close and convenient. The rooms were nice and comfortable and housekeeping was very nice and friendly and came and clean my room for the duration stay I was there. Overall that was a great place to stay.
