Nice spacious and clean room. Fit our needs perfect. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only 'negative' was some of the parking spaces are small, so if someone doesn't park straight, you miss out on a parking spot.

The room was very clean and nicely appointed. Comfortable bed and pillows. Staff was very nice. Location is great. Breakfast is simply breads, cereals and artificially sweetened yogurts. Not even a hard-boiled egg. But, at least it’s a quick something out the door. There are many good restaurants within walking distance.
