I really enjoyed my stay here! The location was just outside of the busy area so it was quiet, but not to far a walk from any of the sight seeing I had planned on doing! Staff was very helpful with absolutely everything including parking. An issue with the TV came up and they had it fixed less than fifteen minutes later. The room was clean and had lots of space! I would definitly stay here again!
