Enjoyed my overnight stay. Clean. Comfy beddings. Mini kitchen with real dishes (and a dish washer) was a bonus. Located right off the interstate. Not too far from dining options. Would definitely stay again.

Never Again.
Awful experience. Wasn’t the cleanest. Dirty towels upon check in but they replaced them with new. Uncomfortable night. Fire alarm went off but no fire. System glitch and double charged but it fell off the following week.
