Axel's take: 8.8/10
A strong road-trip base with clean rooms, welcoming staff and useful family amenities. A comfortable, limited-service 3-star off I-90, scored for what it is.
This is a limited-service 3-star off I-90 that looks like a strong pick for families and road-trippers. Recent Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise spacious, clean rooms, comfortable beds and welcoming staff; Booking.com feedback supports that picture. The included hot breakfast earns unusually consistent compliments for a chain hotel. An indoor pool, hot tub, free parking and rooms with microwaves and mini-fridges make it a practical base rather than just an overnight stop.
The main compromise is location: you're staying near the highways, not on the waterfront or in the downtown restaurant district, so a car makes the stay easier. Pets are welcome, but fees and restrictions apply. We'd skip it for a walk-everywhere lakeside getaway; for a comfortable, straightforward stay with useful extras, it's a very good choice.
