The staff were extremely friendly and helpful…had a wonderful trip visiting my niece at SCU
The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. My only complaint is the air freshener that is in the lobby. It smells really good but it was a little overpowering and I get migraines from since so that was a bit of a concern.
