The property was extremely clean and not on a busy street. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. My son left his stuffed toy in our room and they made every effort to locate it. I highly recommend!

The pillows were very soft and did not offer any support. The bedspread is white(a no,no) and felt very stiff and plasticky. The parking spots are very narrow and are difficult to park a midsized SUV in them. The staff was nice and the overall hotel is good, but after 6 nights, the pullows and bedspread made it very uncomfortable. There was no actual blanket in the room.
