Has anyone stayed at the Gage Hotel in Marathon with young kids/toddlers?

We’re flying into Midland with our 2.5-year-old and trying to avoid bringing a pack ’n play through the airport. The hotel said they can provide one for $25/night, but the person I spoke with couldn’t even confirm whether sheets are included.

For those who’ve stayed there with toddlers: Did you use the hotel pack ’n play? Was it decent/clean? Did it include linens? Did your toddler just sleep in a regular bed instead?

Would love to hear about any experiences with young kids - Thanks in advance!

Planning a long weekend trip with my husband and two kids (almost 6 and 2.5) and would love any feedback—especially on pacing, food stops, and anything we’re missing!
