We stayed for one night at this hotel. Convenient location with lots of amenities around. No staff there upon arrival or departure, however the check in process was easy. Unfortunately there was no parking at all available. The room was clean and had a bathtub with jets. Comfortable bed and lots of clean towels. A nice stay overall. 2 coupons for a free breakfast at a nearby restaurant were a nice touch.
