It’s a great hotel that’s very clean, pet friendly and just off the highway. We only stayed the night but there were a few steak places close by and the bed was pretty comfortable. It’s in a weird spot but one the steak restaurantes was in a similar weird place, so maybe it’s city planning. Great stay. I’d definitely recommend it

There was a small bar, large lounge area, good breakfast, and an exercise room. The room was spacious and clean. The property was clean and smelled nice. The amenities were high quality - like Dove soap. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again on my trips across the country.
