Great Location and Helpful Staff!

helpful receptionistclean roomcomfortable bedparking availability
The receptionist was cute and helpful. This made checking in so easy! The room was a great size and very clean. I liked the modern style! The bed was also very comfortable, and the temperature controls worked perfectly. Parking was great, too. I could leave my car a bit longer on Sunday!
The shower was pointed in a slightly awkward direction for shorter people.

Acceptable stay with SOME issues

essential amenitiesthin duvet
The room was quite clean, with all the essential amenities provided. There was plenty of tea, coffee, and milk supplied for my stay.
The room was very cold. The heating was not turned on. A thin duvet was the only bedding, so I needed to wear a winter coat to keep warm.
