Pet friendly rooms abundant! Under renovation at the time of our visit. Fresh paint and the like. Our room was a bit beat up by a previous pet owner. We no longer have a pet, so, in the future we would probably be staying on the third floor.

This hotel checked all the boxes for travel across the Great Plains with kids. The furnishings were worn, but the beds comfortable, everything was clean. We enjoyed the pool and fitness center. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were friendly. The sunrise was spectacular. I would stay again. I wish all hotels were this comfortable.

The location was great for a 1 night stay passing through. Everything needed for quick meals and "forgotten items" shopping was within a block. The exterior and interior were in good shape, and upon entering the lobby, it smelled nice and there was a cucumber fruit water dispenser, which was a great touch of hospitality. The coffee was decent. The pool had an accessible chair. Our room, an accessible hearing/mobility had a roll in shower with bench. At the sink, hand wash and lotion was accessible from seated as was the open concept closet clothes hanging bar. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash in shower were up higher, as was the bed. Hotels should have accessible rooms with beds at wheelchair height for transfer. I have never had this be the case so I leave it at 5 stars. We'll stay again.

This was an adequate hotel for the night but I wouldn't want to stay more than one night. I think they were doing some renovating and they were constructing a new hotel next door which led to a lot of noises in the morning. The employees were very friendly and helpful . Parts of the hotel seemed quite dated and in need of repair but the room was spacious even though I had a bit of an odor
