This was my family's third time staying at this hotel, and we had a great time! The hotel is located across the parking lot from Madison Square Mall, and there's a Lone Star, Buffalo Wild Wings and Steak n' Shake very close, so you can just walk to shops and dining. The hotel is exceptionally clean, although a little outdated with carpet and peeling paint. Our room came with a microwave and fridge, as it did twice before, so I wonder if they're standard for all of the rooms. Although we didn't stay in one this time, the hotel's Executive Suite is really roomy and has a kitchen area (no stove, just counter space, a sink, microwave and fridge with free popcorn!)
No real complaints about the rooms/cleanliness; room service was on top of it all. The pool area is wonderful and clean--there is an indoor pool with a through-the-building entrance to the outdoor pool. You can swim between both pools without having to get out of the water, which I thought was pretty cool. Had breakfast at the hotel restaurant, which was a bit overrated for the price (found better food outside the hotel for cheaper).
The hotel had offered free drinks and light evening fare in the 5th floor lounge, but as of September 2011, the service had been discontinued. Too bad, because it was a nice way to do a small happy hour and snack before dinner.
Overall, this is a great place to stay, and it's in a decent location, with easy access to major chain stores and other restaurants on US 72 and relatively close access to the outdoor mall (Bridge Street) and I-565. Highly recommended hotel and location!
