What to expect: Guests enter a two-story lobby area with country-inn décor that includes stenciled wall borders, sofas and chairs facing a fireplace, and a plate of cookies set out by the coffee. The hotel is popular with travelers doing business at the nearby business park and with families and leisure travelers who appreciate the suburban setting.

Amenity highlights: A complimentary Continental breakfast is served in a country-style dining room off the lobby. Other complimentary amenities include scheduled airport and local shuttle service, wireless Internet access, a small indoor pool with spa tub, and an exercise room.

Insider tip: Guests may borrow a book from the in-house library to read on-site or take with them. When the book is returned to another hotel in the chain, a donation is made to support literacy.
