The property is located across the street from a fairgrounds facility with woods on the backside of the hotel. This made it a very quiet area. The refrigerator in the room is much larger than expected. It was also nice to have a microwave. The breakfast was very good. We were in town for a concert and the hotel was nice enough to have a free shuttle that took us to and from the stadium. That was a major plus.
