The hotel was clean and nice, easy access very nice employees . However, if you are a lite sleeper, you need to take ear plugs. The hotel has a lot of noises and road sounds. Not really sound proof!! But I use a sleep mask with sound so I was good.

Good breakfast - smoking area at front door :-(
Good stay, very comfortable rooms, and the breakfast was well maintained and had a wide variety of options, including gluten-free muffins. The only concern I had with the hotel is the hotel is technically smoke free but for those who want to smoke, they simply have to sit on a bench next to the front door so everyone entering the hotel has to walk past the collection of guys drinking beer, smoking cigarettes, and the cloud of smoke they create. It would be nice if the hotel moved the smoking area away from right next to the front door.

Overall good stay
Room isn't soundproofed so we could hear cars driving by or in parking lot near by. The check-in was quick, but the receptionist could have been friendlier - or smile more. Breakfast was available for free: omelets, sausage, waffles, fruits etc.
