"We were greeted warmly at check in. Our dog needed a few walks during the night and another front desk clerk was friendly too. In the morning we were welcomed to a filling breakfast by Tameka, who was refilling all the hot foods and milk. Our room was clean and comfortable. Our only reason for a 4 on facility was due to some spots on the elevator floors, but overall our experience was great and think it was a good value. I’d stay again!"

"Great room! Very modern and had everything we needed, only thing was the ice machine on our floor was broken so we couldn’t use it and the bathroom could use small toiletries as soap for hand washing which there was none. Other than that it was a great comfortable stay and would definitely be back"
