Pleasant Stay
Pleasant stay overall. Front desk staff at check-in was super engaging, friendly, and accommodating. Room was adequate, bed being especially comfortable. Amenities included a microwave and mini refrigerator. Plenty of free parking. Stayed on a Friday night and property was quiet. Would stay again.
