Not great but not bad
"This hotel was average, I'd say. Not bad, not good. The windows on the highway side were thin & could hear the interstate. Walls were thin too and pillows were all feather so not a lot of support. Breakfast was decent."

"Great place to stay, super clean. Beds and pillows were super comfortable. Breakfast smelled great, we left before it opened unfortunately. Pool looked cool as heck but we didn't have time to try it. Bar with a bit of food selection was great. Staff amazing."
