Clean neat centrally located. Lots of extra touches in the room. The front desk gentleman who checked me in was super efficient and very pleasant to talk to. This place doesn't look like a stand out property from the outside. However it was very nice and it is obvious that the staff work to provide a superior product. The place was full so i think this review will sit amongst many positive reviews
