Great stay- Reasonable rate
Pros:

The facility smelled clean and the room was spacious. Loved the vanity for prepping hair and makeup so I could free up the bathroom.

Cons:

I had to ring the bell a few times before getting service at the front desk for checking in. However, we did arrive about 15 minutes earlier than expected, so that could have had something to do with it.
