Check in was smooth with friendly staff. We were traveling with dogs and they were willing to accommodate us with a first floor room if needed. We opted to stick with the second floor and had a very well kept handicapped accessible room. Lots of space, happy kids, happy dogs. Nice neighborhood, well lit parking lot. Would definitely stay again!
