"My room was very large with one king bed in it. It was very clean and it also had a tub and a separate standing shower. Breakfast was very good and delicious, with variety of juices , yogurt, milk, pastries. The parking was very large and underground. You need a keycard to get back into the building, so it is safe. Next door there was a Habit grill which was very convenient for buying dinner. Within walking distance to the courthouse, a medical clinic, a T-Mobile store, and Jack in the box. I recommend this hotel to everyone."
