The hotel is better than the Gateway. Nuff said! They have a microwave and fridge. Very clean and comfortable.
We have stayed in many hotels in the area including the supposed nicest, the Gateway. Not! We will be staying here from now on.

We have been staying at this propriety for many years while we are in town for a football weekend. Tim and his staff do a great job in making our stay enjoyable. The hotel has gone under some recent renovations of rooms and lobby area. The breakfast is pretty good with enough choices to satisfy most tastes. (Eggs, waffles, yogurt, cereal and assortment of muffins and bread.). There is a coffee maker in rooms as well. Although we do. To use the pool very often, there always seems to be a few people
there or in hot tub. I like the fact we do not have to commit to a 2 night stay as many area hotels now require during football weekends. If you want to walk to stadium it is about a mile. They also have bicycles you can rent.
