BUT: Astonishing level of traffic noise starting 6 AM and continuing through evening and into night. Rooms all face the nearby highway.
ALSO: No staff at desk or on site. Check in by calling the "desk clerk" in a distant town, who helps you access a lock box with the room keys. Apparently, if you need anything you wait until housekeeping shows up the next day. For example, for two people they provided two Keurig cartridges, enough for one cup of coffee each. If you'd like more, as we did, you have to wait until housekeeping gets there (mid-morning?). Want anything else (decaf? tea? different pillow? another blanket? more towels?), I presume you have to wait for housekeeping as well.
Minor beefs: No electrical outlet anywhere near the desk. Flimsy plastic toilet seat tended to fall down. Very low lip on shower pan that barely held the lower edge of the curtain, so that without close attention water ended up on the floor.
Rated 9.6 on Expedia with >500 reviews (many of which apparently dated from when there was still a staffperson on site) -- I don't know how that could possibly be. Ignoring the noise and absence of staff, I would have rated this in the low 7s. With noise and no staff on site, under 5. Felt misled. Cannot recommend staying here.
