The room was spotless and the staff was very professional and polite. We asked for more coffee to be brought to the room and the cleaning lady was at my door within 5 minutes with more coffee then what I asked for. Plenty of parking space and the Inn is at an excellent location to everything. Highly recommended.

The room is extremely congested, and they told me over the phone that there was a kitchen, but there isn’t one. The bathroom is very small, and checkout is at 11 AM—if you stay past that, they charge $50 per hour. Overall, a horrible experience. Not recommended.
