Good hotel.. I would stay there again
Pros:

Breakfast was very nice
Room was bigger than expected

Cons:

The light by the bed did not work. The lamp on the desk was not plugged in. One towel was threadbare… the living area is darker than I would prefer. Main hallway was very warm.

Pros:

The bed looked very clean. And it was comfortable. And the breakfast was pretty decent.

Cons:

It was noisy, but that is not the fault of the hotel. It's on a very well traveled road. And it kind of smelled funky but soon got adjusted to it.
