Stayed here 3 nights during the week with my husband and in-laws in 2 seperate rooms to visit family nearby. Found the best deal at $111 per night for 2 queen beds through Expedia. The hotel was easy to find - right on exit 100 off 81. Our rooms were on the second floor. Everything looked new and fresh, our room was clean and cool. The beds were comfy - all but one pillow were feather pillows. We brought our own and used some of theirs. I had to kill a spider crawling on the wall. We could definitely hear the highway - staying on the north side of the hotel anyway. Also, our room included a flat screen 32" TV, small microwave and mini-fridge. The fridge made a terrible grinding sound every so often that bothered me as a light-sleeper. Also, they only have about 20 channels in standard definition... thumbs down on that. Free wireless internet (code given on the back of your key card envelope) worked well. Breakfast was good! Every morning included various coffee - very good (regular, decaf, bold, hot water) tea/hot chocolate packets, orange juice, apple juice, oatmeal, cheerios, raisin brand, frosted flakes, waffle makers, toast, muffins (blue berry, banana-nut, chocolate) bread, plain and raisin bagels, pastries, apples (small not very ripe), skim milk, 2% milk, butter, jam, syrup and there was a hot dish that alternated between sausage slices, french toast sticks, home fries, scrambled eggs, eggs and ham, also alternations between fruit (grapefruit and orange slices, pineapple, and grapes) and yogurt (various yoplait). There was a nice big seating area right in front of the front desk and a large flat screen TV to watch while you ate. I believe they also offered to-go bags for breakfast - and cups for coffee or drinks. The lady attending to the breakfast area brought us more coffee each morning - she was very nice! We tried the pool out one afternoon - looked clean, but it is not heated, it was very cold. It went up to 5ft deep. The work out room had one treadmill, one elliptical, and one bike - didn't use this. The business/office area looked nice - didn't use this either. Our room was cleaned each day - although we declined once as we slept late and didn't need any new items. The shower was nice with good water pressure. There is a coffee-pot in room - in the bathroom actually. As far as what's around the area - there is a Pilot station right across the street (lots of truckers) with a DQ and a subway and a little "Diner" restaurant next to that that served beer. We ate there - it was a little pricey - the food was good and the service was terrible - waitresses clearly wanted to serve the truckers before the families in the booth. A small piece of pie was 2.79. All in all, it was a nice stay, clean, a little loud, with a great breakfast.
