We have stayed here many times. The convenience of the location and free parking are great. Having a kitchen is essential for us. The room was very clean and the bedding was spotless and we slept very well. Our check in went smoothly and we will not hesitate to book here again.

Nice facility. Clean and well kept rooms. Pleasant staff. Tight parking lot. But my favorite feature was the doors didn’t auto-close so you didn’t have to feel like you were wrestling an elephant while dragging your suitcase into your room.
