When we walked in, the room was pristine. The beds were made and not a dust speck in sight. The beds were pretty comportable, and everything just seemed very homey. We were worried that there werent enough outlets but both the lamps and desk had some. My only complaint was that the wifi was a bit laggy, but overall I would stay here again.

Easy to park, easy to check in. We requested a roll-in bed and they delivered on time. Clean room, bathroom has a shower stall and a bathtub. A popular Italian restaurant was just steps away from the front desk area. Free breakfast was good. Location was close to highways, grocery stores, department stores, but the hotel area was quiet.
