Nice size rooms. When my dad needed an extension cord for a CPAP machine the staff was helpful. Great location. Only issue was check in and getting luggage out of our shuttle. Very busy street and we had suitcases as well as golf clubs. Staff directed us around the back which was not correct. I knew about the stairs to lobby going into it, but it was not what I imagined. You enter, go down a narrow hallway, then up narrow stairs to lobby. This is not a great place for people To stay if they have a lot of luggage or heavy luggage. Other than that I would recommend.
