8/10 Good
"It was very accommodating. The rooms were well-kept and made for the on-the-go traveler. Being in a separate building from the main facility meant I didn't utilize the additional amenities as much, but what was most important was being able to secure a comfortable room. It was peaceful, quiet, and exactly what I needed for my stay."
