Great location! Very clean rooms! Very quiet too!
Pros:

Great location!

Cons:

The only thing I didn’t like was I felt like during breakfast the one gentleman working watched you like a hawk. I felt like I couldn’t even take a glass of water out of there! If I’m paying what I did I should be allowed to take a muffin to go or an apple even.
