Great home away from home!

Very clean, and refreshed daily. Large shower. Great space to be in away from home. Being able to check in after midnight was a great relief since we were not able to leave until after work.

Great stay, would stay again!

The front desk staff was friendly at night and in the morning. Food was fresh and hot. The room was very clean and I loved the shower set up as well as the luggage rack/table. Sheets/bedding were very clean.
