I gave it a 3 to balance the previous reviews. We had the impression it was a very nice hotel, but in reality it was a nice enough highway hotel. The staff was good, the hotel condition is good. But the walls are thin, it's right on the highway and the Continental breakfast is very small. Couple of cereal options, bagels and bread for toast.
