Nice sized comfortable suite room. Updated. Pretty clean. Had trouble with a few things in room - 2nd tv didn’t work, lamp between beds didn’t work. Seemed to be short staffed because I tried to call the desk to report our problems and no one answered. Breakfast was typical motel fare.

The room was very clean, and the bed and pillows were super comfortable. The bathroom was spotless as well. The staff was very polite at check-in, and the hotel was quiet with no issues during my stay. I also really appreciated that they allowed me to check in as a student, even though I didn't meet ...
