This was a nice hotel. Quiet, even though it appeared to have a lot of people staying. Quick check-in and was able to check in an hour earlier. Typical room. Was clean, comfortable bed. Roomy. I was given my request for a top floor room. The big surprise was the AMC theater right across the parking lot. With not much else to do other than dinner somewhere we did take in a movie. So convenient. Close to restaurants and other shopping. On the outskirts of town, so not in downtown which was fine. The breakfast was typical free breakfast, but it was FREE which is great since many places are either not offering free breakfast or charging for it. I'll be back to the area next summer and will definitely stay here again.
The AMC was right across the parking lot.

Unfortunately, my dad became ill and we had to leave a day early. We tried to work with the hotel and get a refund for that, but they emphasize strict policy on cancellation. Very disappointed in that decision because people do have extenuating circumstances.

The pillows used in this hotel and most others are entirely too big, thick, to ever be comfortable -- an instant recipe for a stiff neck and no sleep. For this reason, I always have to pack my own travel pillow, which is very inconvenient, of course.
