What Travellers Like
- The I-Drive Inn was supposed to have had my room ready for an early-check in, however, some kind of confusion intervened, and I didn't have a room available when I got in town at 9:00 a. Any time we needed extra pillows or towels, we simply called and they brought them right up. The room was very nice, although they could use softer mattresses! All in all, the breakfast "great room" is good. The guest services personnel at the hotel lobby are very accommodating also.. Read review
