Our room was spacious and very clean: bathroom, linens, refrigerator. We didn't use any of the common areas other than passing through. The staff was so pleasant & went out of their way to be helpful. As we were checking out, there weren't any luggage carts available so they had someone bring a kitchen cart. He loaded our luggage from the room, brought it down, and loaded it in the car. Would stay there again!
