Pros +
- Friendly staff, clean room and facility, easy check-in, plenty of free parking, excellent breakfast included with plenty of food options. A lot of value for the price of the overnight stay.
- Friendly staffSpotless
- Fitness center was super nice!! Very cold, but nice. Eggs were yummy. Gal running breakfast was SO nice. Kids loved hot cocoa.
Cons -
- If you are a light sleeper you may hear cars and trains in the night as the hotel is very close to the interstate and train tracks
- Location was a little difficult to get in and out of and to get to campus
- Breakfast was meh. The bacon pieces were a joke. I wouldn't call them pieces at all. No waffles. Couldn't find plates - in a dumb spot. Napkin dispenser stuck so they ripped coming out. No pool. Back door didn't work with our key. It was so cold so we were annoyed to have to walk around. Room was so tiny. Nowhere to put our stuff. Water was so hard and not very hot. Everything was dirty overall. Staff seemed to sit around and play on phones a lot.
