My wife and I stayed here for one night, with fairly low expectations because of the $58 AAA price tag on the room. We were surprised and delighted by the quality of the hotel. From the moment we entered the hotel's warmly decorated lobby, complete with a softly flickering gas-log fireplace, we felt comfortable.

The front desk man was welcoming and obviously proud of the hotel, pointing out its features including the three-hour window for the "deluxe breakfast" and the new 37-inch flat panel TVs throughout the hotel. Free internet access was also a welcome amenity.

The room itself -- with two queen beds -- was nice-sized, but decorated in 1980s Holiday Inn style. The pillows were lumpy, and the mattresses could have been firmer. But we slept well.

The bathroom was what you'd expect for a moderately priced hotel -- a sink and counter out in the open, and a toilet and bathtub in a separate small room. The bathtub looked old, and the plastic head on the shower didin't offer much water dispersion, but it was adequate. My wife was scalded while taking her shower, though, when a neighbor flushed a toilet or turned off his own shower. We're not sure which.

The breakfast was impressive -- complete with sausage, fresh fruit, do-it-yourself waffles, two kinds of cereal, fruit juice, hard-boiled eggs and more. We were surprised to find that the menu could address the needs of almost anyone, even those on a low-carbohydrate diet.

All in all, we take our hats off to Comfort Suites.
