"Make sure you read the parking sign as you enter in regards to pricing. everything else was great. The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. The staff was great. We didn’t have time to eat breakfast in the morning so we were able to DoorDash Starbucks. We had a wedding to go to so we were running a little behind. Other than that, it was a great place to stay and I would stay there again."
