My room was so clean, and the bed was quite comfortable. Love having a mini fridge, and microwave in the room. The lady who checked me in was so kind., and helped me with my TV remote when i couldn't figure it out. Coffee was provided in the office the next morning, and it was quite delicious.. (I always bring my own creamer ) Great value for the $$.
