lovely hotel, more than worth the price

A nice overnight stay on our trek across I80 and a good value for the price of the room.The restaurant is in the next building casino which is attached to the hotel. Breakfast (included) in the hotel is huge with hot entrees, waffles, good coffee. My only issue is the styrofoam plates and plastic flatware being tossed in the trash. I thought the IHG would have gone to compostable by now.
