The staff was friendly but the quality of the room was subpar. In the room the heat was not working and none of the outlets were functional. Also, the room had roaches.

The location seemed to be quite new and everything was in great condition. Parking was a bit difficult as every space in the lot was full. The staff was just fine. The breakfast quality could have been better. All items seemed to be pre-frozen or in a tasteless, heated-up condition. Not terrible but could have been better. Overall, the place is fine and I would return.

Toilet was clogged...no maintenance available. We were told "sorry nothing we can do". Didn't offer to help fix or even another room. We asked for a plunger and the worker begrudgingly went to look for one...one was found and we had to do it ourselves.
