We have stayed here many times. The convenience of the location and free parking are great. Having a kitchen is essential for us. The room was very clean and the bedding was spotless and we slept very well. Our check in went smoothly and we will not hesitate to book here again.

Nice facility. Clean and well kept rooms. Pleasant staff. Tight parking lot. But my favorite feature was the doors didn’t auto-close so you didn’t have to feel like you were wrestling an elephant while dragging your suitcase into your room.

The room was ok however a/c seemed to not work so we just opened the windows. Be extra careful with booking as guests regardless of age are counted as an adult. Our family was 4 adults and 3 kids (4,6,9) and we were counted and billed as 7persons.

The room was very clean, the parking so easy, the location very convenient as well very quiet at night. I liked the option of having a window open a couple inches. They seemed very protective of their towels, no barh towel on arrival and only one left in the room the next day. The morning desk person could have spoken to me kindly when I requested my room to be made up. It was a working trip and kindness goes a long way. I wasn't asking for the world just my room freshened and stocked. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.
