It was conveniently located in area with access to I-80 to get around. Ice cream place a block away and plenty of places to eat nearby. Hotel itself was very nice with everything looking like new. Room was very nice with comfortable set up. We were allowed to change from a king to a double queen room with no hassle. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

This is our second stay at this property. It’s clean, quiet and the breakfast offerings are delicious and plentiful. Would definitely stay here again. Downside is limited dining options to walk to from the hotel. Area doesn’t feel safe at night (to be alone). Bathroom could use another towel rack and lit makeup mirror.
