Easy & fast check in/out. Received 2 bottle of water when arriving. The room was spacious but the sink for the bathroom was outside the bathroom. It was a bit hard finding parking when we arrived at 11pm. The bed felt old/lumpy. There is a microwave downstairs with paper plates/utensils which was convenient. The room had a little balcony facing the parking lot. Toiletries included bar soap and lotion. Body wash and shampoo/conditioner were in a big bottle.

Pretty ok hotel

Nice hotel, very updated. Room was hot when we got inside and we couldn’t change the thermostat. Even after maintenance came to fix it, it never cooled down a ton and this was in winter. Front desk was nice and the price was right. Would consider staying again.
