Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Check in was easy. Also there was free parking. My room is very noisy due to the sound of the freeway coming in the window. No option for late check out, which is a real bummer since I am in town for the Drake road races and was really hoping to be able to shower afterwards.
