Overall a good experience.
Pros:

Location, friendliness of staff.

Cons:

Parking lot was small but I was able to find a parking. It was during the week, so I imagine if it was a busier day, parking might have been an issue. The room had a faint smell of smoke.

Front desk friendly. Very convent location

The bed was so hard, it was like sleeping on a plank of wood. The parking was iffy. Not sure where to go if there wasn’t a space available.
