I stayed here with my daughter and a friend of hers for a night during the State Fair. The hotel is easily accessible from the highway, parking was plentiful and the rooms were very clean. There are also lots of restaurants close by. My only complaints would be the a/c was very loud making it a little hard to sleep and the breakfast was just okay. Overall, a decent stay for a reasonable price!

Facility was clean and staff was friendly. I would have preferred to have coffee in my room rather than walking down from 3rd floor for a cup. Staff was friendly but unavailable at checkout time (About 630AM) So I dropped my key in the can at the desk and left while another guest was impatiently waiting to check out because he needed a receipt. Overall the stay was very good.

The staff was great and switched our rooms so we could be in the same floor. Room was clean and updated. Shower was bright white clean. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the beds were so high my elderly mom and aunt had a very hard time getting in the beds. I would definitely stay there again.
