This was a nice experience for an average chain hotel. It is well situated with some decent dining within a 10-15 minute drive. The facility is well maintained and definitely clean. The staff were pleasant and accommodating. Breakfast was a little above average in its variety and reasonably fresh. We would stay here again without reservation if it was for a night or two.
