Clean room and nice staff. Convenient location. Breakfast was fairly sub-par and we were given an accessible room (neither of us need that) which never have good water pressure.

I would have given five starts, excellent hotel to stay while traveling. Just to be aware that at least some of the rooms facing the turnpike might be a bit noisy at night, but it was not bad at all as we both slept very well.
