The rooms were spacious and luxurious, the staff was outstanding, and the breakfast was excellent. Convenient, reasonably priced parking made the experience even better. I highly recommend this stay.

Comfort Inn Hall of Fame
I stayed for 4 nights. The room was ok but housekeeping never came to my room during my entire visit. I dont need much but they could've at least showed up one of those days to take out trash. When I checked in, the front desk said that there was no housekeeping on Friday but that they would be there ...
