There are a lot of food options in the area, convenient location off I-80, friendly staff. But the rooms are outdated, smelled old, the heating/cooling unit in our room did not work properly. It looks like they tried to update tile in the shower but the caulking job could have been done better by the school of the blind.

When we walked into the room it smelled like a damp basement. Bedding and carpet were all damp. Light bulb out over sink( nothing big and was fixed when told staff.) Water still in coffee maker. Staff did give us a bag to hang in our room for moisture, helped somewhat. Staff was kind. Breakfast was good.
