Clean modern rooms, hallways, and lobby. Loved not having an alarm clock in the room as many times they are pre set for the alarm from the last visitor. I loved how the hallway door had a barrier all the way down to the floor so you could not see the hallway light underneath it.

Very clean rooms and everything a traveler needs. Couldn't expect more for what you pay. Lot of people parked illegally in loading zone out front and in parking lot. Was there all weekend and many cars sat that way for long periods of time and nothing was done about it. Limiting options of those coming and going and where to park as the parking lot size isn't huge. Management needs to grow a set
