Clean, quiet room; comfortable bed. Paula was great at check-in and helpfully pleasant during our stay. A couple more hooks to hang up clothes would have been nice, as there was no closet.

The location was good, with plenty of parking spaces. The en-suite room was quite small but the living room and dining room were very spacious. Very easy self-check-in was a bonus.
