Comfortable bed, good hot breakfast, small parking area. This hotel is next to the free way and my room is next to it so I hear the noise during the night.

We arrived early but were unable to check in right away. We did check in later, still before the 3pm time. The desk lady was efficient and polite. The room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfy. Even being next to the highway, it was relatively quiet. Loved the Costa coffee machine in the lobby. Fresh ground beans, brewed one cup at a time. Would stay there again.
