The staff was very helpful and professional. The parking spots were a little tight and my first night I had not where to fit my car and the worker in the office made accommodations for me so i didn’t have to park on the street. I was very grateful for this. My sons didn’t travel with me as I was alone. I loved the microwave and refrigerator in the room also. The room was very clean and no bugs as my last place I stayed. Very convenient for the places I needed to travel for business. This will definitely be my travel hotel from now on. Thanks for everything.
