We liked that we can eat and drink on the premises, but the breakfast buffet was just an average continental breakfast one would get free at another hotel, but it was very expensive. And the hottub was not working, pool room was cold.

Rooms large and appeared recently remodeled. Front desk helpful. Nice to have a bar and restaurant on-site. Plenty of parking, helping us avoid the traffic from the football game.

The only this we did not care for was the sliding bathroom barn door. Would like a full closing door for privacy.
