The noise in the room & the comfortableness of the bed ruined the experience 😒. Everything else in the hotel was good.

I stopped in for an unplanned stay during a winter storm that hit much of the Midwest. The assistant General Manager was very accommodating, addressing all my questions, and providing a solid favor given the circumstances, which I appreciate.
The rooms were well cared for as were the facilities overall.
The restaurant is very convenient especially during inclement weather, with reasonable prices & great food overall.
The bar design is stunning with attentive & personable bartenders.
Location overall is great for quickly getting back to the interstate but far enough away that traffic is not audible.
Overall, I recommend this hotel & will stay here again should I need to in the future.

Very nice staff, the room was clean and comfortable, the only drawback for me is the road noise outside. Just a bit loud for my liking. Would be better if I was on the other side of the hotel I'm guessing.
