Great stay!!
Pros:

Our room was very spacious, and it was a great location. The staff was very kind and helpful.

Cons:

The parking lot was super tight. But it's the footprint they have and we understand. We would have liked a microwave in our room.

Excellent
Pros:

Il parcheggio di fronte alla camera è senz’altro una comodità unica e inoltre è già compreso nel prezzo della camera. La camera era grande con un bel bagno spazioso.

Nice clean and great location.
Pros:

Location and size of room.

Cons:

The hotel was basically a very nice remodeled motel. It was very comfortable.
The outside patio was a bit funky and the tv was tiny and was sitting on a cabinet/dresser had to be moved to view it.

Buon soggiorno per una notte
Pros:

Ci siamo appoggiati a questa struttura per una notte soltanto e va bene. Forse non consiglierei un periodo troppo lungo ma nel complesso, per quello che serviva a noi, è stato un buon soggiorno.
La posizione è comodissima e il personale è gentile e disponibile.

Cons:

Andrebbe data una bella svecchiata alla struttura, non credo fosse disponibile la colazione, la doccia non era troppo confortevole e gli orari della reception sono un po' limitati, ma nel complesso è stata comunque un'esperienza positiva.
