Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Pleased with everything. Very clean/tidy without the smell of strong cleaning products. Rooms spacious and clean and well equipped. Breakfast was quick and easy before starting the day. Quiet at night. Mattress comfortable. Coffee maker/micro/fridge in room. Computers/printers/work area available. Pool area near and clean (did not use this visit). Gym more than adequate for some extra activity. Hotel within 1 mile of the major highways. Many options for dining (chains - but if you venture a little out can find some better places) Easy checkout. Would definitely stay again. Stayed from 3/11-3/15
