The room was clean. The lady on the front desk was very nice, helped me check in and set up my reward program. The breakfast was fresh with lots of options. The hotel is night next to a gas station, which provides convenience to our road trip.

The property was understaffed the weekend we stayed, so fresh towels, toilet paper, paper cups in room, etc., depended on our making a trip to the front desk to get them ourselves. Not what I'm accustomed to at $465 for two nights.

Location was great for getting to the parks. Place was very clean and quiet. A tornado hit the city on my second day. They handled the emergency very professionally. Downed power lines everywhere so no electricity. They were great. Staff was calling people who had reservations to let them know what was going on. They let me and others leave early with a refund.
