We enjoyed everything about our stay here. Very friendly staff, great breakfast, convenient area. The only thing negative was that there were a lot of younger military personnel staying there that seemed to be coming and going in and out of rooms all evening on our floor. They also monopolized the laundry facilities so we were not able to use them at all.
