Frustrating to have to wait for a call and not receive one.
Pros:

Bed and food

Cons:

My room wasn’t ready and they were supposed to call me when it was. They never did. I returned at 530. It was ready. Check was at 3. They checked me out at 830. I left to an event. Return to shower. I was locked out. Yes I took my stuff but I was going to return. I returned at 945 am. and I left at 7am. Lucky they opened the door. Beds were stripped down already.

Pros:

Typical travel hotel. It was good to spend one night since we had a long way to drive next day.

Cons:

Floors and walls were thin and not isolated enough. Poor breakfast but that is a general problem. There were nothing to see around. Memorial day was too expensive.
