Hotel was clean and comfortable. All the staff were very friendly, courteous, and professional. Shriya was especially sweet and helpful throughout, especially when we had a vending machine issue. They also have ice cold water always available to you in the lobby, which is extremely appreciated on a hot, summer day. Dropping off luggage to be held was inexpensive ($1/luggage). Definitely recommend, and would stay here again.
