Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Check in was very quick and efficient, and the room is nice and clean. Found the bed to be uncomfortable. There were lights over the bed that we couldn't figure out how to turn off--there was a tiny switch that we eventually found as we were ready to call the front desk. Also there was a wooden ledge where you might expect a headboard that we both hit our heads on at least once. Lastly, you can't use the TVs in the room to sign into your own Netflix or other streaming service accounts, which is a bummer. Nothing terrible, it's a perfectly fine hotel, but nothing special.

It was a nice facility. Parking nearby was half the price of the hotel's parking. We literally parked right next to the hotel for more than half off. Staff could not be less helpful. Asked them for directions, recommendations, etc. They had no idea. I wondered if they were even from the area. We asked for an extra blanket and pillow. We had to call twice for it.
