Pros:

Bfast was adequate and what we expected. The beds were comfy and the price was decent. Would stay here again.

Cons:

The view from out room looked out on the entrance to the hotel. Not a fave, but not a deal breaker. It was actually nice to see and keep tabs on our vehicle. Shower was a little gross, but a quick hot rinse solved that.
