Staffs provided the best service. Room and all interior are new and modern, quality bed and mattress, big TV with all channels. Dust-free bathroom. Easy parking in front of my room wih spacious parking lot. Security gate was closed after sunset and keycard lock made me feel safety and had a good sleep. Highly recommend.

While this is close to town it felt v safe and was quiet in the ‘back rooms’. It was roomy, had v good wifi, coffee, service from very pleasant staff. Clearly this place has gone to big effort to upgrade itself and its appearance.
All kitchen appliances as needed were there and in good condition. We are staying there again in 2 weeks.
