Rooms good, staff excellent,
Pros:

The room was fine, but the ice maker didn’t work on floors 4 or 5.
This brings the rating from 5 to 4 stars, as hunting for ice is a dumb inconvenience.

There is one exceptional employee - Nikki - who works in the restaurant. She is attentive, helpful, and friendly. She was able to help me navigate a split order, and tell me the best way to do this. Then it was done perfectly. She also circled back to make sure we were happy. Truly, she went above and beyond.

This hotel was great, and be sure to enjoy your breakfast before heading out for the day.
Pros:

The hotel was perfect and the breakfast staff was great. The lady in charge of taking care of us at breakfast was amazing. She went out of her way to not only take care of us at breakfast, but also answer questions, give directions, and take our picture for our 45th anniversary.

Cons:

I can’t think of anything that we didn’t like.

Pros:

Loved the whirlpool and the cleanliness of the hotel room

Cons:

Prior to placing reservation, I thought the option I chose included breakfast but after the reservation was placed, that option did not appear on the reservation

Also, the panel cover of the furnace/AC unit came off and it was challenging to get the thermostat to stick to a comfortable temperature

Worth checking out.
Pros:

This hotel is perfectly located near the Interstate 94, which takes one to the airport in less than 30 mins without traffic. All staff were very friendly and helpful, Especially, Giovanni at the front desk truly understands hospitality, as he made our check in ver welcoming. The food was delicious and convenient, plus the hotel keeps coffee at the lobby throughout the day. Nikki at the morning breakfast was an amazing hostess, she went above and beyond to keep us informed about local 4th of July events.
