Impressed. It's a designated 'no smoking' facility, place was super clean, rooms super clean, in great condition and all was quiet (we were on the back side). The complimentary breakfast was a pleasant surprise as it wasn't advertised. That said, a tad better quality options would be nice for us picky eaters :) Overall, we had a great stay and really appreciate what they offer for a fair/reasonable price. Would definitely stay there again.
