Nice place to stay!
Pros:

We stayed here on a road trip. The front desk personnel were fantastic and easy to ask questions to. The area around the hotel has a nice playground and easy walk to the downtown mall for food. We really liked how close to campus we were to drive over and see that too. The parking was easy as well. Breakfast was good. We have no complaints.
