Parking was easy. Check in was okay. Rooms and beds are comfortable. AC was a little intense when on. Sink is in entry, seperate from bathroom. Hallway carpet needs replacing. Breakfast is available for $7.95 each. It was decent. Overall I would stay again for a short overnight while traveling.

The front desk helpful and welcoming. Great for pet stay. The second floor pet area, was a little difficult for ours, elevator or steps. Small grassy area past parking lot for pet. The room itself was very quiet. Slight odor? The king bed was extremely comfortable. Shower nice. Breakfast for additional fee.
