We like this hotel to stay en route between Indiana and Nebraska. This time the room was not as comfortable as usual. It liked an ice bucket and a luggage stand for each of us, and the window shades didn’t work. Nothing serious but not up to usual standards.

Great stay! Well-appointed room; had everything we needed and then some for our family of five. Very comfortable beds and exceptionally clean. The made-to-order breakfast was great and the portion size was perfect - not too much or too little. Excellent location. We’d stay again!
