Clean rooms, staff was great, one negative is they need to have at least one vending machine and one Ice machine, on the main floor. Front desk would get you ice, but really this is a Flaw. Other than that, the place is really cool!!!

Very accomodating and friendly staff. Staff went above and beyond to help me and my wife get settled after a 15 hour drive. We were moving across country and had a lot of stuff to get off the car. The gentlemen taking care of the front desk at 5 am was more than helpful to help us .my wife and i will be back for sure

Staff onsite was excellent. However, i did call 3 times and no one answered. Parking was horrible. If you have small children or disabilities i wouldn't recommend. Housekeeping was very noisy, both in halls and other rooms. I could hear vacuuming several rooms away. Toilet paper was very thin and scratchy.
