Get ready for remote access. No human face to face contact. Had issue with the bathroom and they were able to give me a different room. Beds were comfortable.Had to stay an extra night and they gave us our extension with no problems.
No employees it the front desk. Keos with call center personnel who doesn't speak clear English is impersonal, inconvenient. This will be our last stay at this location.

Loved the property overall. It would be nice to have a table and 2 chairs in the room (we love to play cards). Staff was great and location was fantastic.
Flew in for our son’s graduation to realize all the prices increased. 550. for 2 days for a very SMALL room. Couldn’t fit through to get to the bathroom. Sticky stuff on the hangers, non foam mattresses.
Check in was easy. Could use a coffe pot in the room. Comforter has a cigarette burn on it and this is a non smoking room. Everything else was pretty good.
Exactly what I paid for, a nice bed to sleep on and a hot shower at the end of the day. I came to help my daughter move out of her dorm and it was a perfect stay. Thanks M6!

Odd stay
Strange kiosk with overseas individual on a large screen assisted with check in as an actual person was behind the counter doing nothing. One crinkly miniscule towel for two people was supplied. No in room coffee. Exhaust from large truck poured into the room as people park backwards.Such a strange experience but for $60 what do you expect?
The onsite staff were very nice and helpful. Checking in with the offsite screen was odd, but easy enough. Rooms were clean and updated. Location was fine with minimal homeless around. Location was good, close to highway, gas and grocery stores.
