When selecting a hotel for my 4 night stay, location was probably most important to me. Beyond that, I was very pleased with my room, the comfort of the bed, the free breakfast, and the cleanliness of my room. The AC worked nicely. Parking was plentiful. All in all, no complaints and I would happily stay there again.
