Our experience was made so great by “Cindy”, the customer service was phenomenal. Upon checking in to our room, we found that our TV wasn’t working and she immediately upgraded us to another room -which was a lot bigger! It was very clean and secure. Parking was not an issue and the breakfast was delicious! We’ll definitely stay here again while visiting our daughter at school👍

Nice location but could use some updates. The room was clean, bed was comfortable but there was some stains on the floor and furniture was very worn. Also was unable to close the curtain to the window. There was only a sheer covering so when the sun came up, it shined right on us.
