ShyAnne, at the front desk, was very professional and friendly. She made me feel welcome. Of all the amenities provided, I really appreciated having a nightlight in the bathroom. The only thing you are missing is a magnifying mirror, with retractable swinging arm.

The hotel itself was fine. But if you drive a large vehicle, it won’t fit in the valet parking garage so I had to park it myself in their back lot. Which would have been fine, but (1) I was still charged for valet parking that I did not use & (2) the back lot was sketchy; cars weren’t parked straight & there wasn’t much room.
