Good Location, comfy beds, friendly staff

Great staff and location was good for work. Felt safe. Bed and pillows super comfy. Hot and cold shower dial was backwards took a minute to figure out. Carpet looked dirty and a couple of my towels had stains though they were clean. They have a 24 hr area to purchase snacks and Monday Wednesday 5pm-7pm they have express hour which was was hot dogs chips nachos chilli and beer wine soda. Nice little perk when youre too tired after work to figure out dinner.
