We have stayed there several times with work and personal business in town. The room we stayed in this visit was by far the best one, great bed and shower. The kitchen was the cleanest to date. We had one issue with the main door key that kept getting stuck in the lock. But the next morning a kind staff member helped me get back inside when I got locked out thanks
