There was plenty of parking, adjustable air/heat, big cozy beds and all the amenities a person would require. There is no elevators in Comfort Inns so prepare to carry your bags up at least one floor. Breakfast was good.

This is a shoddy hotel with poor quality renovations with visible gaps in the door and no noise insulation. We could hear everything around us. Considering the price the hotel was charging, it was doubly unacceptable. I also did not get the larger room I booked and paid for. We left after only one night.
