Very nice stay

Better than average breakfast, very nice outdoor heated pool, sufficient exercise room and decent enough hot tub. Great location for us. Good bed with fridge and microwave. Stayed here before and probably would again. Nice front desk man on evening shift!

Stayed here for a tour of BSU - highly recommend! First, probably the nicest staff I’ve ever experienced at a hotel. Second, breakfast was amazing! Super impressed with all the offerings. Room was clean, beds comfortable, parking easy. Hands down the best value for level of experience received!
