10/10 Excellent
"Clean modern rooms with plenty or useful power outlets in actually useful locations. There was ample parking. Staff were super nice and helpful especially the girls handling the breakfast orders. They packaged it perfectly with everything needed to go back to our room. The location is in a quiet area with plenty of excellent food choices a short drive away. I'm would definitely recommend this place if you are traveling nearby."
