The room was large, very clean and remodeled. Parking was convenient. The beds were not comfortable. There was no coffee maker or ice available. We spent one night to attend a concert. I would not stay here again.

No frills, but very clean everywhere. Refrigerator and microwave are handy. Bed was firm (which I prefer). A number of good food and coffee places right across the street. Excellent value for the price.
