Excellent stay
Pros:

That is was clean. The bed was great!! Staff was kind and friendly. Free breakfast, and it was good.

Cons:

My last night there, someone's car alarm kept going off and waking me up every few minutes when I knew I had to travel the next morning and someone was smoking pot in an adjacent room and it filtered into mine room, which woke me up out a dead sleep and made all my clothes smell horrible. I smelled it in the elevator on my way up to my floor. I thought they were all non smoking rooms?

Suite ladies bring human touch
Pros:

On-site management quickly responded to a room change request due to a medical issue. Our vacation ended abruptly. An adjustment to our bill was made promptly. The staff were understanding and gracious throughout our short stay.

Quite nice. Good value. Perfect for business travel.
Pros:

Very clean and easy to find.

Cons:

There were many contractors staying. I was traveling with my daughter and granddaughter. Having that many men in close proximity was a little uncomfortable. May want to consider this if you are female and traveling with family. No one was out of order. The front desk was definitely in control.
