Clean, safe, no surprises
I stayed at here as I was in town for a race. The facilities were clean and the staff friendly. My room overlooked i235 so it was not as quiet as I would have liked, but i was on the top floor, so it wasn't too bad. I was a short walk from the race/start and could come and go with my car. The hotel also offers a hotel shuttle, which I used for one night to get to a restaurant. I didn't eat in the hotel and the pool was a bit dated (I brought a suit, but found uninviting). The staff is friendly and helpful. Overall, I'd stay here again.
