We really enjoyed our stay the room was clean and pleasing, the breakfast was great with many choices. The only negative thing I can say is that the room was a bit noisy, I think it was because it was by the elevator so we heard everyone coming a going.

It was conveniently located in area with access to I-80 to get around. Ice cream place a block away and plenty of places to eat nearby. Hotel itself was very nice with everything looking like new.
