What are your general comments?

"Overall it was nice. Stayed at the Microtel where they had a very friendly desk clerk (Tabby) who helped me find my way to the vet school, find places to eat, buy stuff, etc. Additionally the room was quite nice with a flat screen TV, wireless internet, etc. For $56 it was a very nice hotel. Don't rent a KIA Sportege. What a waste. Leave at least an hour early before when you plan to leave so if you do what I did, and come out to a car that won't start, you'll still be on time."
