Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Conveniently located, ample parking, pool. Rooms are spacious and clean but dated. Many rooms face the parking lot or walkways, noise isolation is very poor: you hear your neighbors on all sides and above, you hear other travelers walking by your window, you hear cars etc. Breakfast is edible and I would leave it at that. The whole thing reminded me of a roadside motel - functional but not memorable.
