Liked: Staff & service
Staff was very nice and acompassing. Especially for NYE. Parking is very reasonable. $15. Rooms are tidy and have a fridge and microwave. Which was a major plus. Would have liked to see a bed skirt on the beds. Something about seeing a box spring irks me a bit. A little outdated but good for the price.
