Our stay was exactly what we needed - good rest and a great breakfast!
Pros:

The breakfast was wonderful. I'd never seen a yogurt machine before, and the waffles and eggs were so good. Our bed was very comfortable. So were the pillows. We would stay here again!

Cons:

I can't think of anything.

Worth considering!!!
Pros:

The clerk was very informative and being we needed a ground floor room, he did upgrade us with no charge to an open one!!
Very gracious.
The breakfast was wonderful. A huge selection of.

Cons:

The tub was slippery and a little scary , especially for an older person. Also the tub is taller than average so stepping out made me nervous also the were e is a hand tail.
No elevators.

Good location, price is in between. I have stayed at the Holiday Inn express. Nicer hotel, but more expensive. I stayed
Pros:

The breakfast is excellent. There are 2 pools (one inside & one outside). I did not use either but they looked clean. They have cookies in the front hall in the afternoon/evening for snacks.

Cons:

My initial room smelled like a damp, mildewy wash clothe. Thankfully they found me a new room. The WiFi in the new room was a bit sketch - did not work all the time and could not be found by my phone and tablet all the time. There is a laundry on site - yeah. But the ice maker in the same room is leaking. I was told by the staff they are waiting on a part. So they deal with the leak but putting towels around it. The workout room is ok (one treadmill, one elliptical & one one bike with some free weights and a universal machine - that’s the good) but towels are not always there and the room is hot. Thankfully there are fans.

It was one of the best places we stayed at on our 2 1/2 week road trip.
Pros:

Clean and comfortable, close to the Interstate. Indoor and outdoor pools were great but we didn’t get a chance to use them. Breakfast was definitely a good experience.

Cons:

Desk clerk when we checked in was kind of scruffy and unkempt looking. Performed his duties but never made eye contact.

A pleasant surprise
Pros:

One of the nicest places you’ll find to stay off a highway, in my experience. Ryan at the front desk went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. The room had perfect AC and was dark and quiet. The beds were extremely comfortable. The gym was small but got the job done. We didn’t try the breakfast but everything looked clean and organized, though the coffee definitely could have been stronger. We’ll come back if ever passing through the area again.
