We had a great stay with no problems. The room was fresh and clean upon arrival and the bed was really comfortable. Free wi-fi was available. A simple breakfast of bagels and coffee/tea was provided in the morning and Calvin (?) was extremely helpful and friendly. It was easy to find the hotel and parking was in an adjacent lot. Bathroom was clean with good amenities. Check in/out was easy and we would stay there again in the future.
