Nice, clean place that was nicely decorated for Christmas. Room looked like it had new carpeting installed. Breakfast was pretty good; hot food was good as well but options were basic (scrambled eggs, bacon / sausage). The location isn’t near to anything within walkable distance but the area itself is very nice.

Clean room and super-friendly staff. Parking is convenient and close to the highway. The location is convenient to dining and shopping. The property appears a little tired, and you do experience some road noise from the highway and the hallway, but overall, it's a good experience.
