Simply Wonderful Stay!

free parkingconvenient parkinggreat wifimusty smell
I really liked the free parking. It was super convenient! The included WiFi worked great. I didn't experience any interruptions. The staff were helpful and friendly, even with my late arrival.
The room did smell slightly musty, but opening the window helped a little.
