Overall we had a nice and quiet stay. Staff was helpful and courteous. Room was clean, with a comfortable bed, and quiet surroundings. Got a good night sleep. Breakfast started promptly at 6am with a decent variety of items. Parking was convenient. We selected this hotel vs others primarily based on comments regarding security concerns at other locations. We didn't notice any security issues. A couple of things I would suggest: 1. a couple of water bottles in the refrigerator would be nice touch. 2. replace some of the carpeting. No mayor issues. I would stay again in the future if needed.
