This is the place you want to be. Enjoy a spacious fitness facility and swimming pool that will allow you the opportunity to relax during your stay and work off the stress after a busy day of meetings in the luxurious meeting facilities.

Stayed there for >40 days for work and overall it was a very good choice. GREAT LOCATION: bus stops + Walmart + restaurants nearby for a long-term traveler. In the hotel there is good breakfast, all day coffee, (perhaps soda as well but the machine didn't work--I was totally happy with sparkling water it offered) occasional food in the late afternoon, kitchenette, 24h fitness room, 24h self-laundry room, and helpful staffs are all there. They also take care of delivered packages without additional charges.

    Did t eat breakfast as there wasn’t much variety for the hot foods. Not much counter space for a family of 3. We did like the suite style…separate living room/bedroom and full fridge.

    Purchased a 2 queen beds room and got a king size room. The hotel was completely booked so they were not able to rearrange. I was traveling with my wife and 2 kids, got it very late to the surprise of only 1 king bed. They provided a roll out bed but very uncomfortable. This should be like a 60 dollar motel. Then the lady at front found out the hotel changed the room without notice and she was talking about charging extra for the rollout bed. She ended up not doing it, but unacceptable solution at that point.
