Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall experience was great. Staff was very helpful and able to accommodate for an early check-in. Hotel and room was clean with plentiful space. Beds were comfy and had everything a hotel should have. Gym was nice. Was not able to take advantage of the pool or breakfast. However, the pool did look warm and very welcoming at night. Very good experience and the location was close to a good selection of fast food + Target. It's also very close to the airport which is always a plus.
