extremely clean and kept up very well. Only problems were the parking (hard to get in/out of parking space safely), the mattress seemed to be wrapped in something that made a noise like wadding up plastic shopping bags everytime you turned over.

This place is what hospitality should be. The room was clean, the amenities were aplenty, the service was excellent, and they even threw in some free sodas and snacks. That made my experience way better than when I stayed at a 5-star hotel.
