Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Clean room. Comfortable bed. But I do not understand the shower being so small as a stall. And there is a lot of open space in the bathroom that is of no usage that could be used to enlarge the shower.
The room was clean but not well space-planned. There was only one bedside table for two beds. The bathroom had empty space yet there was minimal space in the main room. The walls were very thin. We listened to our neighbors fighting and snoring. The connecting door let in too much noise and the smell of smoke from the adjoining room. There was plenty of parking, and we felt safe staying there.
Love this place! I’ve stayed here a number of times over the last six years and I’ve never been disappointed. It’s always top notch regarding cleanliness and friendly service. I highly recommend it!
