"I enjoyed my stay here, the staff was very friendly! Showers were awesome and comfortable and it was very clean. Only downside was I stayed on the second floor and whoever was staying above me sounded like a bird of elephants at 6 AM. If you stay here, I would recommend staying on the third floor, you run into those issues Parking could be a little challenging but manageable. I highly recommend this location and hotel."
