I tried to check out early the next morning at 6:15 am and could not find a person in the office until close to 7am. Also, there was no TV check out available like most hotels have.

5/5 - Excellent

Never been there. Had no desire to go there before. I was looking for a spot to stay overnight after my Sentry interview and came across this wonderful place based on reviews and they were right! I plan to go back again.
