There was a small bar, large lounge area, good breakfast, and an exercise room. The room was spacious and clean. The property was clean and smelled nice. The amenities were high quality - like Dove soap. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again on my trips across the country.

Good little one nighter

This is a great newer property. Maintenance seems to be well kept and lots of cozy room in the lobby for hanging out even away from the bar. This was our 2nd stay weather related and while i do appreciate the price point and location - the pool needs a better heater or turned up a little warmer for us older bodies, and the beds need upgraded or pillow tops to them. Otherwise, breakfast was good and rooms efficient. Check in is quick and easy as well.

Mother daughter reunion.

The king Deluxe was perfect for my daughter and I to meet in the middle between MN and KS. It had a large sectional that was perfect for hanging out, playing games etc. Very nice walk in shower.
