The check-in was efficient and staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and bathroom seemed updated, shampoo, conditioner, soap was pleasant. Breakfast was okay with healthy options--fruit, yogurt. The bed was a bit uncomfortable, but okay for one night. I would stay here again if in the area.
