Staff was friendly. Perfect spot to lay your head and sleep. Don't expect a resort. Nicely located, cheaper parking, and a bed. If you're going to spend your days out and about all day it's nice. If you plan spend time in the room other than sleeping this is not the place. Hot coffee in the morning, free WiFi and beds.
