8/10 Good
"Check in was quick and easy and staff was friendly and courteous. Guest room was very clean and the bed and room temperature were comfortable. Room was also amazingly quiet considering how close the hotel is to the heavy traffic on I-35. Breakfast was not great. Eggs were overcooked. So were the biscuits. The tables and chairs need to be replaced and updated. It is a very small space so if the hotel was very busy it would not be comforatble place to eat. Check out was quick and I got the receipt I requested without any hassle."
