One of my better stays. Parking was fine, enough spots. Breakfast was very good, they don't run out and they keep filling up the food when it gets low. Newish laundry machines. Large rooms. Computers & printer in the main lobby - free access, free printing. Decent location in a low crime area. Slow elevators. Complimentary coffee (or decaf) in the lobby 24/7.

The staff and service were top notch. The only thing that wasn’t 5 stars was the sofa bed. It is in desperate need of a new mattress. I felt bad my son had to sleep on it.
