A perfectly fine basic hotel, although my room was so close the highway, the noise was disturbing to my sleep. The manager kindly offered to bring ear plugs; I would have preferred an offer of a room change but perhaps none were abailable.

The hotel was okay...nothing in particular wrong with it. I thought on the website that it would have been a little better and more included. I get the business concept of not having a breakfast included with the price, but I believe most consumers are elastic on the price of the room of they feel like they're getting a great value for their dollar (like "free" breakfast). I totally understand the economics from a business perspective, but you have to think about it from the consumer's perspective and "merchandizing".

Everything was up to par except for 1 very important thing THE BED! Niether my husband nor I got any sleep. My back, hips and kneck hurt throughout the night and the rest of the day. We stayed in the area after a dinner party and did not want to drive home. But I asked my husband to take me home several times that night. We would have left in middle of night but he wanted to shop in the area the next day. Very disappointed with a $200 room sleeping like a $60 room.
