Very clean, well kept facility, and rooms. Parking lot completely surrounded in lights. No dark spots that I could see. Friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast was wonderful and free! Loved the King bed room! Very comfy, 2 places to sit other than the bed. Very clean room and bathroom. I would definitely stay there again and I highly recommend.
