“I see a property prioritizing convenience with its proximity to the airport and local expo center, making it a practical choice for business travelers or families in town for events. The fact that kids can stay and eat free certainly sweetens the deal for those traveling with little ones, and I appreciate that they emphasize regional touches in their dining; a welcome change from generic hotel fare, in my opinion.”
