Nice hotel.
We couldn't check in early as they had been booked solid when we got there, but we were able to check in right at 3:00. Front desk personnel were professional. Room was very clean as was the bathroom. Air conditioning worked very well. We were close to the Interstate but it was very quiet as we had an end suite. The only thing was they didn't have was free breakfast in the morning. They do not have a restaurant in the hotel, but you can order from the restaurant across the parking lot. They were very expensive though. All together, it was a very pleasant stay.
