Great staff very helpful. check-in was fast and easy. Love the convenience of the parking lot door. Rooms were very clean and well put together. He had all the amenities you needed. Breakfast was good. The coffee cup was a little tiny, but you have a coffee maker in your room. Very happy with my stay g I will be back....The only thing I didn't like was there were a lot of cigarette butt out in the parking lot.
