The hotel was nice overall. It was clean and I felt safe (I was traveling alone for a wedding). Staff was very friendly and super helpful. Breakfast had some good choices. Parking was okay. It’s free which was nice and I liked I could see the parking lot from my room. If I am back in the area, I would definitely stay again.
