I’m a fan of Avid!
Pros:

I had a great experience at this hotel! I slept like a baby! The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I almost wanted to take it home with me! The room was spotless, and I enjoyed the sound of the cars on the highway. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Cons:

It’s quite challenging to reach the destination. I was rerouted twice because I kept missing the turn.

I thought it was excellent because there are a lot of breakfast places nearby and you can always get your own
Pros:

Comfortable clean the staff was nice. I had a lot of cool things like ice buckets and the beds were comfortable. We love the shower. Breakfast was OK. A pancake maker would’ve been nice but overall it was great. I would definitely look for avid again wherever I travel.

Cons:

I thought everything was great. I really liked everything but I think the breakfast could’ve been a pinch better.
