Nice place to stay right off the highway

We stayed only one night and found the hotel and room very clean. We had a king room and the bed was very comfortable but the leisure chair in the room was very small and awkward. It was a padded U -shaped chair that a larger person would likely not fit in. The bathroom was extremely small with very dim lighting and no exhaust fan and a sliding door that slid to cover the bathroom doorway or a small closet. For an overnight stay it was fine but I don't think for a longer stay it would have been. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a lot of warm and cold options and the highlight of our visit.

Our room overlooked the lobby and restaurant/bar. This was fine, until a large and loud group gathered in the lobby area. They weren't obnoxious, just loud! The location/proximity of our room made it impossible to rest.

Wasn’t worth the $220 I paid for the room. The bathroom had no vent and very limited space or lighting. There were a bunch of people partying that night and came back to their rooms very loudly in the hallways.
