I recently moved to the Johnston area and stayed here 8 nights while waiting for my new place to be ready to move in. The entire place was clean, the room was spacious and quiet. Every staff member I came across was helpful and friendly. The cleaning staff made sure I had everything i needed and they all were very sweet! The only thing i would say needs work is the breakfast. Not many options to choose from but it was always hot/fresh and did its job! I would definitely stay here again and it will be my top recommendation when family and friends come to visit!
