First of all, let me compliment the staff in all regards. The front desk attendant was very friendly, welcoming, and personable. I don't care what she makes, she is underpaid for her professionalism and affability. All other hotel staff we encountered during our stay were kind and helpful.
The room was very nice: two queen beds with good mattresses and pillows, good channel selection on TV, nice bathroom (and clean), and a mini fridge/microwave/coffee maker for ease of use. Everything in good working order. A little smaller than I imagined for what I paid for (ACA room), but not surprisingly so.
A little bummed that there was clearly a spot a hot tub used to be (but was no more), but the pool itself was okay. My eyes are not burning, and that's a good sign.
Continental breakfast was exactly as promised - good selection of hot and cold cereals, hot items, toast/bagels/donuts/etc, milk/juice/coffee/hot cocoa. I made a cheese bagel sausage/egg/cheese sandwich and it was delicious.
The only thing that is neither positive nor negative was the location. I mean, kind of a great location - close to several dining options, close to a mall, relatively short trip to downtown - but that intersection is BUSY. The hotel shares a parking lot with another hotel, and several businesses. Not a lot of traffic, but just kinda cramped.
All that being said, I will definitely consider this hotel if I travel through Battle Creek again.
