Easy commute to UA! No frills, but thats ok! Super clean, amazing staff, great price, quiet, safe, and easy parking. As a solo female traveler, I felt 100% safe here. Did not try the breakfast because breakfast was served at the seminar I was attending. Will stay again next time I have a seminar at UA!!
