"Clean & Spacious"

Overall Score3.0/ 5

Easy check in with exterior door code and room code sent automatically. Room was clean and spacious. Location was pretty convenient to our events. The breakfast is ready at 7:30am and contains a nice variety of food like bacon, eggs, waffles, fruit and muffins. All of our encounters with the staff prior to check in when scoping out the place or asking about additional options were very pleasant.
