This is a very clean, nice hotel. The Capet down the hallway is very nice. They have a business area with computers on ground floor with bar. Many outlets everywhere. No fans in the ceiling but the AC works really well. If you have a suite there is AC in every room along with TV, microwave, small refrigerator.

The parking garage has a relatively low clearance for large sized trucks. I didn't risk entering it (along with a couple of others) and opt to park around the back which was a little inconvenient. The room was as advertised. No smells, spacious, new looking, comfortable. The price charged was commensurate with the room and amenities.
