I liked that the staff reached out and made checking in very easy. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The rooms are def older and have some wear and tear, but I thought they made up for it in other areas. The parking spots are def harder for larger cars; however, we did appreciate that there were plenty. I’ll def stay here again, especially since it’s in a good location.
