We had a nice stay. It's close to our favorite bbq place here in town. Elevators were our of service and they found a room on the first floor for us since we had a full car from our road trip to unload in and out of the room. With my husbands sciatica in his leg, we appreciated not having to climb stairs several times to bring things in and out of our car.

We could hear the interstate noise throughout the night, but it wasn't so loud that we couldn't sleep. Loved having a microwave and fridge in the room. Easy access to attractions like Bass Pro, Adventureland (was closed during our stay), Walmart, and fuel. Easy on and off the interstate.
