Easy to find, check-in in went smooth, abundant outlets in the room but nothing on the walls to dampen the sound. Breakfast was good with a different twist to the warm items. For being near an interstate, the rooms were quiet and the bed slept well. Good place for a weekend stop over. No place to unpack clothes so unless you like living out of a suitcase you might find another location for a week stay. Close to the casino if that’s your interest.

Having real eggs for breakfast was wonderful! That's a rarity. The staff were professional and friendly, the room was clean and up to date, and we loved that you had bean to cup coffee. It was really good! The room was really quiet. You couldn't hear any of the other guests. My husband and I both slept great on the comfy beds! I do wish the refrigerators had a freezer section and that in the suites there was a curtain to pull to separate the TV area from the bed. The only true complaint I had was the shower and that is not really your fault. It had a weak stream, went back & forth from hot to cold unexpectedly, and the water is so soft that I couldn't tell if my soap or face wash was entirely rinsed off or not. Other than these little things, this was a great hotel. I would recommend it!

Staff were very friendly to me and my dog. I was in late and up early because of travel, and they were available to help me. I left before a full breakfast was out, but they encouraged me to grab what was out without complaint. Convenient to casino but because of changes to the highway exits, a bit confusing how to get there off the interstate. Overall, an excellent choice for me and my dog!
