From someone who travels quite a bit, the overall stay was acceptable with the free breakfast being better than similar hotels. The Front Desk staff were very pleasant. Conveniently located to several restaurants as well. There was significant road noise in the am / evening. Towels are rough and I wished for better quality. Also, plenty of parking available, I would stay here again.
