I cannot emphasize enough the customer service and hospitality of this staff. I watched managers step in with rushes and friendly check-ins with guests if they appeared to be lost or looking for something. Found the rooms were clean and AC worked amazing! Parking is on-site and enclosed, so felt very safe with my car. Overall great stay for quick work trip
