“I like that this is a practical choice off the I-90 and I-35, close to a Harley Davidson shop and a golf course; the indoor pool and fitness center are real perks for families and solo travelers alike. Executive suites come with dedicated work areas, and the staff seems genuinely helpful in recommending local spots. For me, the pet-friendly policy seals the deal.”
