10/10 Excellent
"the manager was welcoming and helful, providing me with an accessible room (ground floor, wide doors, handicap parking space right at the door. This made my stay so convenient and relaxing. The room had TV, free internet, microwave, coffee maker, AC, comfy mattress. It is recently remodeled with wood floors, new bathrooms with tiled shower, new furnishing, etc. I plan to stay there again when I'm in the area."

10/10 Excellent
"I really loved how comfortable my room was. I also liked the decor and setup of the room. I liked that I could park next to my door. There’s no coffee maker or breakfast and I’m a coffee person so that could be improved. Overall I enjoyed my stay and I would stay again."
