I was happy with what I got for the price I paid. I got to have my own full kitchen with stove, microwave, fridge and a dishwasher with utensils. I was on business for an extended stay and it was a gamechanger for me personally. I was able to retreat to my hotel room when I was done with work daily and felt right at home. They gave free breakfast daily and coffee throughout. The staff was respectful, friendly and experience with them was seamless.

Decent location, mostly quiet area, room layout was good for the size, however the bathroom ran is loud and the fan and bathroom light only power on or off together. Can't use the bathroom light only, so night trips are disruptive.

Reservation for only one night. Had difficulty getting hot water in bathroom - barely lukewarm at best. Didn’t need the accessible room layout, but was nicely set up for wheelchair with plenty extra room all around including in bathroom and roll-in shower, and lower access for closet rod, stove controls. Grab and go breakfast was ok with make your own waffles and continental style everything else. Decent newer property for an overnight on road trip.

Reserved a King accessible suite as my wife has a disability. Checked in and the room was nice but not an accessible room. The temperature that day was in the 80's.The heat was on in the room making it uncomfortable until we could get it cooled down. Reserved it through Expedia and with my VRBO Key Cash the total cost was supposed to be $43.34 total. When I got home and was filing my receipt noticed I was charged $76.05. Should have known it was too good to be true!! Not a happy camper!!
