Great location, poor service.
Pros:

Location was great right off I90. The room was very nice, modern and spacious. The atmosphere was not up to expectations, on checking was not acknowledged as a BW rewards member, not offered complementary water bottles, or snack as other BW hotels do. Value was good at $108. Clean bathroom and very nice shower tub that had wonderful water flow and coverage. Noise from above room woke us up at many times starting at 5:00. The floor insulation is lacking between the second and first level. It sounded like elephants stomping around above us. Breakaways the biggest disappointment. We arrived at 8:45 to see the worker clearing up the counter. There were no eggs, no biscuits, no gravy, and three sausages. As I was scraping a bagel sandwich together 3 more adults and 8 more children entered to eat breakfast. At 8:56 the worker brought out a small amount of waffle mix and 5 biscuits. She said she could make more but it was almost time to close breakfast. Evidently they functionally close breakfast early at this location.

Good place to stay.
Pros:

Great access off I-90. Plenty of parking. Close to shopping, gas and restaurants. Lobby, hall and stairwells were very clean. Room was clean, smelled good. Plenty of electrical outlets and USB ports...bedside and on the desk. Quiet. Breakfast had good options, both hot and cold. Would stay there again.
