Free parking, clean room, safe area, 2nd bedroom had no a/c, beds were stiff, could hear all neighbors through the walls. breakfast was as bare bones as could be for continental- Eggo waffles, white toast, yogurt, and cereal were the only foods. The coffee was not good. It was decently priced and in close proximity to everything we wanted to do. Housekeeping did excellent job cleaning.
