My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and newly renovated with plenty of media outlets and a flat screen TV. The staff was kind, friendly, and always accommodating to our requests. The hotel's location directly off the interstate was the best part of our stay, making it easy to find with ample seating. The dining experience was really good every day, and the hand-cut steaks were by far one of my favorites of recent road travel history. Overall, a top-notch experience worth 5 stars.
