More than adequate place to sleep

Second time I have stayed at this location because of its easy access to the Altria Theater. Parking is very good except it costs $20.00 per night. Beds are very comfortable. I appreciated the addition of the grab bar in the bathtub/dhower. I like the Dove soap and shampoo products. Quality of towels and wash clothes needs improvement I felt the hotel was stingy with Keurig k cups—only two so my friend and I couldn’t have a second cup.
