Location was perfect for my short visit to the area. The room was clean and the staff were friendly. Only drawback was the traffic made it difficult to get out of the parking lot during rush hour.

Think twice before booking
Found dirty shorts in one of the drawers. Had to ask for basic necessities since it was not found in the room. Basic toiletries, I.e. shampoo, soap, etc. Room smelled badly. Parking was incredibly tight. It was not a good experience at all.

I love that there was on site parking. The location was very good. The room itself was very clean, but it smelled of smoke upon arrival. Plus, I assume bathroom window was open to get rid of the smell, but I was worried about the window locking properly, once smell went away. The manager was extremely helpful and kind. I would definitely stay here again.
