"Easy access, central location. Parking lot, lobby and rooms were clean. Wifi was excellent and continental breakfast was decent, scramble eggs would have been better than hard boil. I appreciate the fruits and muffins. Both coffee thermoses were a hassle to dispense, super slow. Overall was a pleasant stay that didn’t break the bank, and all the staff were friendly.
