Awesome from the get go! Love the location between 130 and 206, then the refreshing smiley welcome by front staff!
Place was clean all around and the breakfast offerings were plenty and assorted. Would have been glad to see turkey sausage as an option but it was good. Best!

The room was not clean and the amenities, such as, shampoo, body wash or soap, were broken and the dispensers were empty! We stayed for two nights and they didn't even check what was left. Poorly done!
