Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The front desk personnel was so nice and helpful. Especially the young lady who worked at night and in the morning. The guy on the overnight was cool too. Comfortable beds, clean room and better than average breakfast
Check was quick and easy. My room was very clean and had what I needed to make my stay comfortable and pleasant. Housekeeping made sure to clean my room daily and leave clean towels and take the used ones.
