"Everything was good. The only complaint would be the continental breakfast not be the same everyday."

"Parking was great. The location is fantastic. Room was clean. It was convenient having the mini fridge and microwave. We had trouble controlling the temperature of the room so we just opened the windows and used the box fan provided. The room is pretty basic but it was just what we needed."
