it was great

It was great for one night stay. Great for the price. The room was super clean and very nice. Bed was very comfortable. Big bathroom and shower. super easy check in/out. I liked the area, it felt safe, there were people walking around and. hospital across the road. Convenient location. If i had to to complain it would be that the ice machine was only on the ground level and no free breakfast. But they offer free 24 hr coffee.
