Convenient location in the suburban area.The area feels safe, and there is no need to worry about homeless people. The front desk was welcoming, helpful, and attentive to our needs. The breakfast was excellent—you could serve yourself and enjoy it in your room. Check-in process was smooth, and we arrived after 1am.The room was spacious, but the A/C wasn't cold enough.
