The check-in process was quick, especially since according to the clerk, I was the last one to check-in for the night (it was only 10:15 pm). I was given a first floor room, just past the elevators. (Never, ever my choice). My key didn't work on first try so I had to return to the desk to get that fixed. She was apologetic. They also made me sign some paper work about quiet hours (10 pm to 7 am I think) and no room parties etc. Upon walking in this first night, I noticed the lobby garbage's were overflowing. Half empty pizza boxes were strewn about and several groups of parents were gathered around the TV visiting. (I later learned there was a high school softball team staying there.) I get it was late, but still not the first impression I would expect. I guess it's ok to hang out as a group in the lobby after 10, just not in your rooms. The room was nice and clean. There was a microwave and mini-fridge. It had a weird, what I would call a shrink couch as seating. I would have preferred two chairs and a coffee table. Since it was just me, I made it work. It was a little noisy for the first hour I was there on Friday night. There were teen girls going up and down the hall laughing and talking loud. My room overlooked the parking lot, which wasn't noisy. The king size bed was comfortable with dual nightstands and lots of lighting. Plentiful pillows were there too. The bathroom was clean, had a nice sized counter and allowed for all my toiletries. I had enough towels. They provide shampoo, conditioner, and body wash if you didn't bring yours. The shower had a shaving shelf which was great! (It was a walk-in shower). The breakfast is amazing. Probably one of the best I've ever seen. It included scrambled eggs, buttermilk biscuits, and bacon along with your standard free breakfast fare (yogurt, cereal, pastries, fruit). The staff was quick to fill the items as they were depleted. Saturday late evening I was again disappointed by the lobby. The overflowing garbage was back, along with the party parents (again, I arrived back after the supposed "quiet time". This time, it was cupcakes all over the place, including in the hallway. There were several that had either been dropped or tossed and landed frosting side down on the carpet. They have a limited supply of alcohol in the little store which was ok. Other than the Bass Pro shop next door, there are a few restaurants and a Wal-Mart just around the corner. They did provide housekeeping both nights I stayed which was appreciated. I don't know if I would stay here again. I don't feel like the room was worth what I paid. I've stayed in way nicer for less.
