A very clean room to fit 6 people. I was able to book this for <$100 for the night. We didn’t use laundry services, but there was a laundry room. Good selection for breakfast and nice area to eat. The check-in gentleman was so kind and fixed us up in seconds, as we arrived at 3 AM and were exhausted. Would stay again!
