We were staying in town for the Lainey Wilson concert at the state fair. Check in was great and as busy as they were it was smooth and everyone so friendly. We were able to take the shuttle with other fair goers and the drivers were awesome. It was so nice that they offered that service. We would definitely stay again for the fair.

I traveled for work and the staff was friendly from beginning to end. Each person, from valet to front desk were pleasant to work with. The rooms were not carpeted, and instead had linoleum wood flooring, which I was fine with and honestly preferred. Bathrooms were clean, and the area was easy to walk to and from the events center. I'd stay here again.
