Check in and out was great- same super friendly and informative clerk both times. Clean, comfy room with a great view. Super cheap and convienient parking. Only complaint was the room next to ours was an adjoining room and was occupied by an incredibly loud, obnoxious bridal party or something similar- not the hotels' fault and we didn't want to be "those people" who called and complained- but it was a little much. I would still go back though.
