The staff was very accommodating for our late check-in and helped made everything go very smooth and easy to get to the room. We appreciated the late check out. Very clean facility. The bed was on the firm side and the pillows were super soft, not much support after a while. I would rebook there again.

I frequently stay here for work and have been very satisfied but this visit they put me in a room that was ok. Mattress needs replaced and bathroom floor wasn’t cleaned. Also carpet going into bathroom is ripped and it hurts when stepping on it. Staff is always friendly and also gracious on giving a late checkout. I will continue staying there.
