Great location, newer hotel with nice appearance, staff friendly, good breakfast, spacious room with full-size refrigerator and microwave. No utensils or dishes for the kitchen but the front desk provided plastic utensils, and Walmart is not far away. Too cold to use the pool, but the pool and hot-tub setting is nice. Would definitely stay there again.
