Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The location seemed to be quite new and everything was in great condition. Parking was a bit difficult as every space in the lot was full. The staff was just fine. The breakfast quality could have been better. All items seemed to be pre-frozen or in a tasteless, heated-up condition. Not terrible but could have been better. Overall, the place is fine and I would return.

Toilet was clogged...no maintenance available. We were told "sorry nothing we can do". Didn't offer to help fix or even another room. We asked for a plunger and the worker begrudgingly went to look for one...one was found and we had to do it ourselves.
