"It’s a great hotel that’s very clean, pet friendly and just off the highway. We only stayed the night but there were a few steak places close by and the bed was pretty comfortable. It’s in a weird spot but one the steak restaurantes was in a similar weird place, so maybe it’s city planning. Great stay. I’d definitely recommend it "
