I enjoyed my stay. Peaceful nice retreat from driving and friendly, helpful staff.
Pros:

I liked how clean it was. I liked that there was late check in. I liked the bathroom. Customer service was awesome. I also liked that my room was close to the elevator and stairs. That it was nice and quiet.

Cons:

I didn't really like the bed, it was a little small, a bit firm and there was no top sheet. I thought it would have been nice if there was a couch beside the bed and the table on the same side as the TV. Didn't really see the need for the table and chair in the corner near the end of the bed.

The parking on the side, by the side entrance was a little tight - had to reverse back out. Luckily I have a 2 door coupe, I would have had to park quite far if I had a bigger car.
