Facility and rooms are very clean, and up to date. Uplighting artistic decor. Spacious rooms, with very comfortable beds and beddings. My checking in was timely and efficient. Staffs are professional, efficient, friendly and accomodating. I enjoyed the daily house keeping service availability, my interaction with the staff and the peace and quiet which allowed me to get some rest and do some remote work as well. The facility is conveniently located near highways, shopping area and many points of interest. It can be a home away from home for a traveling person. A sweet escape for singles or couples night out or a place to stay for an events or family vacation.
