I was looking for a clean, safe place to spend the night. It met my expectations. My only disappointment was the continental breakfast in the morning seemed pretty limited.

We were only there one night and left too early for the free breakfast. That said, we always stay there for the free shuttle to the airport and the convenience.

Okay!

The employees were absolutely wonderful. The noise and commotion upstairs kept us up all night and we had a taxi picking us up at 4 am, so we did not get any sleep.
