I’ve done a lot of business and personal travels and this is by far the best hotel experience I’ve had at any price point. Facility is new and clean, best shower ever, parking is easy (and free), room is quiet. In-room AC is quiet (which a lot of hotels several times as expensive can’t do). WiFi is fast and hassle free to connect to. I can comfortably say you can’t find a better hotel at 5x the price point.
