The staff member was courteous though she was on a phone call on speaker phone when I arrived and throughout my check in process. Everything was clean and the room was as expected. I was only there for one night so I can’t speak to house keeping services.

It was very convenient and clean. The rooms were very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The only negative is there is no breakfast, but there are restaurants close by. We will definitely stay there again.
