My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient and close to our event venue, but the area seemed a bit sketchy. The service was top-notch and extremely friendly, making up for some of the shortcomings. However, the room had a strange smell and was not as clean as I expected.

Upon entering my room, it felt cool and not stuffy. However, there was a funky smell as we walked in. The service was top-notch, offering a senior discount and being friendly and helpful. The location, though a little sketchy and hard to get to, had adequate parking and was close to I-70. The dining experience was average, with typical dishes and okay quality. The facilities were decent, but not outstanding.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had everything I needed with a refrigerator, microwave, flat TV, and free high-speed WIFI, but unfortunately, they smelled like a smoker's room. The rooms were spacious with plush carpeting but felt a bit outdated. The service was generally friendly and helpful, although at times, some staff members came off as young annoying punks. The location was good with adequate parking, but it was a bit hard to get to and had a slightly sketchy vibe. The dining experience was only adequate, and the quality of the food was not the best. Overall, the facilities were decent. In terms of value for money, it was a bit on the higher side considering the outdated rooms and service.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were clean and had all necessary amenities, although there was a slight issue with the blocked door due to an extension cord. The service was accommodating, except for a situation with another guest in the breakfast area. The location was convenient but a bit challenging to access, especially for a big college sport town. The dining options were adequate, although the weekend breakfast hours ended early. Overall, it was a decent stay with some minor inconveniences.
