The rooms were convenient. the rooms were super clean. I'm grateful there were no wear smells. the location was great for getting around, and parking was convenient for $52 a night.
The staff was pleasant, but not very knowledgeable! we had two rooms. There were no menus and no room service. there were also no brochures letting us know where we could find a restaurant, not helpful.
