Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were fairly updated. Newer and upgraded carpeting was nice to have. Most importantly, the staff made arrangements for me to checkin a little later, as I was traveling and not able to checkin until just after 10pm. I felt that was very thoughtful and proactive on their part. It was very much appreciated. The cleaning staff in the morning were getting after it. They were very nice and hospitable.
