Good value, nice clean room

Loved the full-sized fridge, and the bathroom felt large, as did the whole place. Only slight cons: I did have a ground floor unit with large windows opening up into the parking lot, which made me a bit nervous about keeping them closed all the time. And most of the light bulbs were flourescent, which is a pet peeve of me, although some were LED. But the bed was comfy, the stay was quiet, and most importantly everything seemed clean. Would recommend for the area.

Not Great but Not Terrible

The hotel location was favorable and the staff friendly and helpful. Our only complaint would be the "smell" of the room. Upon check-in, it was late so we didnt bother requesting a change, and also thinking the smell was residual from someone cooking in or near our room. However, the unusual odor never went away for the duration of our stay, and I had to spray room down with Lysol every night, which only temporarily masked the odor. We soon found out, the smell in question was housekeeping's cleaning items they used. We may consider other hotel options in the future.
