The room was modern and had a great bathroom, the area itself was very commercial and there was difficulty for parking, but a parking station closeby had parking by the hour up to a maximum of $15. I did find the aircon blowing on the bed made it difficult to sleep and pillows were strange. Free wifi was very handy and a nice free breakfast.
