Good place for layover
"My wife and I have stayed here many times for short layovers. Check-in was a bit slow, but the staff are eager and helpful. The store next door was good for bringing in some outside food (due to Celiac needs). Breakfast was good, but the wait staff are a little too eager to make suggestions."
