Customer service 10/10! We booked this hotel bc it was close to the Spectrum Center. My parents also booked here and we enjoyed it. Breakfast wasn’t free but it was affordable.

Good location, easy check in process. I like that after hours you need a key to enter the lobby. Safety is something we value as a family.
