Room was well priced for 1 night. The pet fee was a little high but not as bad as some other hotels that charge $50 a night. All staff were very friendly. Got there at 8:45pm and fortunately the pool was open until 9:30pm, not 9pm, so we got to use it. The room was clean, quiet and well maintained. The hot breakfast was nice, not the biggest selection I've seen but still lots of food. The location near the highway was great and the surrounding area with other hotels and a walking path around a lake was great for walking our dog in the morning.

Room was clean. The shower leaked onto the floor. Must be an ongoing problem because the wall had some water damage . Other than that, it was clean and comfy, close to restaurants and easy to find off the highway.
