Clean, quiet room; comfortable bed. Paula was great at check-in and helpfully pleasant during our stay. A couple more hooks to hang up clothes would have been nice, as there was no closet.

Nice tidy and clean room, had everything we needed. Nice and quiet. Great location. Limited parking and took me a while to work out door systems. Just different to what I'm used to, never spoke to another person, just walked in and walked out without seeing anyone.
