generally positive experience
quiet room clean room parking lot friendly staff small bathroom towel rack mediocre breakfast
my room was clean and quiet. a parking lot was available for fifteen dollars. the staff i encountered seemed friendly.
the bathroom was small. i think it wasn't up to code, as i hit my head on the towel rack. the complimentary breakfast felt mediocre to me.

My room had a smart TV. It let me stream shows easily. Garage parking was available, and I thought the price was very fair.
The room lacked a microwave oven. I do wish there had been one.

inconsistent stay with some letdowns
sugary oatmeal broken elevator
the breakfast situation was far from ideal. it consisted of sugary oatmeal and packaged muffins. the room cleaning left much to be desired.. plus, one elevator was out of service, forcing me to use an outdoor stairway repeatedly. it was annoying to deal with these issues.
