We really liked our room setup - small kitchen living room and bedroom. Worked great for us as we were visiting our son so he could come and sit and chat with us - much nicer than a hotel room. Some things were antiquated - no USB plugs, just standard electrical, had Direct TV but could not see info on Guide to tell what movies/shows were even on. But it was a nice place with plenty of parking.

Internet was 95% unreliable. I asked about it at the front desk and was told "were switching over our internet right now and you probably wont have internet in that area of the building". No offer of a resolution, nothing. The showerhead only faces to shoot water all over the floor beneath the glass closure. The towel range fell down when I took a towel. Nothing but sheer curtains to draw across the window even on first floor rooms 5 feet away from pedestrians and parked cars. Ive stayed in BWs before and this isnt a franchise thing, it was definitely just this this place.

Staff were lovely, place was very clean. Only two complaints: we stayed in room 302 and the bedroom door to the living room wouldn’t close so we had to keep the door open. Also, there were four of us who stayed in the suite, two people slept on the pull out couch and the mattress was so thin you could feel the mattress springs. For a group of 2 people the place is perfect.
