Great breakfast, terrible smell.
Pros:

The breakfast was fantastic. Eggs, sausage, toast, muffins, cereal, etc. They had a waffle maker the kids liked. The beds were comfortable, and the ac worked well. I also really liked the layout of the room, and it had a mini fridge and microwave. The landscaping was gorgeous.

Cons:

The smell. There was a horrible musty smell through the whole hotel, like old mildew covered laundry. The room smelled worse, it had that damp mildew smell on top of stale cigarettes, even though it's supposed to be non-smoking. I had to wash everything I brought to the room, even laundry I didn't wear. We were traveling to take my 3 year old to children's hospital for a heart procedure, and he has oxygen issues, so he's very sensitive to air quality. There was also only one elevator and it was so slow. The layout is also a bit odd. The price for one night, with the horrible odor was not worth it. Would not stay again, unless there was something done about the smell.

Not the Best
Pros:

Quiet and close to the highway

Cons:

Was in town for a funeral, only needed the room to shower and sleep. Water was lukewarm after the first person shower. Curtain rod was broken and mildew on the ceiling of the shower. Bed was extra firm hard to sleep.
