Was very impressed with the cleanliness of the building and the friendliness of the staff. Breakfast was the typical fare, but the biscuits were amazing. If you're going to do biscuits and gravy, do it right!! Overall, extremely pleased with the stay and will definitely go back if my travels take me there.

The room was clean and given how close the hotel is to I80, surprisingly quiet. The gym needs more weights in smaller sizes, as in 10-25 pounds. Breakfast: coffee was full of grounds, bagels were on offer but there was no way to cut them.
