Overall great choice
Pros:

2nd stay because we were so pleased 2 years ago. Very clean, desk staff wasn't as helpful this time. I was tired from traveling all day and the bartender on Saturday evening was a life saver. I didn't really want to get back out into traffic and she made us a couple of great hamburgers so we could relax in our room for the night. Breakfast the next morning was fair for the price $10. All in all I will be back. Maybe they can teach the male desk persons some customer service skills.

Cons:

Male front desk attendants need customer service training. Lighting in the room and especially the bathroom was poor.
