Superb hotel. Very modern and clean. Friendly staff. Safe, area. Clean room with great ammenities--bar fridge, microwave, big screen TV, 1 cup coffee maker, hair dryer. Great breakfast. A bit of external road noise, but very minor, and not the fault of the hotel--comes with the area. Overall great room & facility

Convenient & Clean

Overall good. Only one roll of toilet paper for four adults wasn’t efficient. Accessible room did have great bathroom with rails for toilet and roll in shower with seat. However beds were too high for handicapped person and seating was not sufficient either. Just a rolling desk chair & a chair that dropped 3-4 inches when you set in it. Over all it was convenient & clean.
