"This was our 1st hotel stay since the pandemic started, and it exceeded our expectations. Good location with easy access to I-80. The hotel was new, clean, and nicely furnished. The bed was quite comfortable, and the bathroom was nice. The only glitch was an issue with temperature control in our room. We were able to sit outside and eat take-out food, and there was an on-site bar. The indoor pool looked great, and the check-in clerk was accommodating and helpful.2020-09-20 "
