This hotel was a pleasant surprise. Check in was quick, lobby was clean. Room was clean and comfortable. It did take awhile for it to cool off in the room, but then was fine. Front desk staff were very friendly. Its an odd location in my opinion, but is near many restaurants and the interstate. The only real complaint is that the elevator was slow! Otherwise it was a fine place to stay. Exceeded what I expected.
Positives: That they gave you free water or beer when you checked in!
Negatives: That there wasn't ice on every floor.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 12 Mar 2008 rated 2 out of 10.
The free ice cream was a plus but I'd rather have them spend the ice cream money on a new vacuum. They should never consider a room on a smoking-allowed floor to be a non-smoking room. Cigarette smoke was everywhere and the room was very unpleasant.
Positives: Free ice cream.
Negatives: We asked for a non-smoking room but it was on a smoking floor. It smelled awful.

This hotel's staff made our stay very enjoyable. The facilities are adequate and the delivery from Bennington's was a plus very convenient. I'd try to get a room away from the elevators, as they are noisy. Laundry facilities not sufficient to the size of the hotel, but it's nice that they are there. I had stay there again.
Positives: The service was excellent - above and beyond.
Negatives: The elevators are very noisy and in some rooms, intrusive.
