    Being during COVID, I was concerned about cleanliness, but they show they sensitive to this by clearly noting what's been cleaned extra well, and "sealing" the room when done cleaning -- pretty cool. Plus they let us check in 2 hours early and gave us a handicap room without our asking. It had LOTS of extra space. All this was SO important as we were in town to visit my son & grandbaby, and needed to entertain in the room. The breakfast left much to be desired, but they did what they felt was safest, given COVID. Maybe after COVID, it'll be better?
