Outstanding hotel!
Pros:

Hotel was $115 on Priceline. Pam checked us in and when we asked about Texas Roadhouse near us, she gave us a 10 percent off coupon. Pam was warm and kind. Lighting in bathroom was flattering and we were thrilled to have a bathtub!! Bed was perfect with soft, smooth sheets. Cokes in vending machine were $1! Loved this hotel!
