The room was spacious and clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Primary negative is the hotel overlooks the highway and it's quite noisy, plus the AC system is a bit on the noisy side as well. Would be nice if there were some hooks or towel racks in the bathroom. If you want to be environmentally friendly and encourage guests to re-use towels, there needs to be a place to hang them.
