clean roomresponsive staffquick responseappreciated time
the room was very clean. staff were very responsive. i had a situation after returning home and i needed a document. i emailed twice the day after my stay. i received responses to both emails in less than an hour. i really appreciated the quick response time.
the free parking is quite limited at only nine spots, though i was lucky to find one.
