Everything we needed
The room was spacious, well-kept, the bed comfortable, We keep the fan on when we stay in hotels so we don't hear other guests and had no problem here either. Check-in desk person was polite, considerate and helpful. Breakfast was standard with waffles if you want to make them. The neighborhood is fine with many eating establishments within a mile, Prairie Meadows casino and track is across the street, but it was quiet. It was as advertised.
