This was out second stay and it continues to be a great value. My only concern was that I was unable to get a warm shower which I really needed. Other that that, the staff is very helpful and the rooms are nice and a great value for the money.

I had a nice, useful description describing all of this, but Expedia's trash AI scanning for rule violations kept rejecting it for no actual discernable reason, so you get this useless blurb instead... since it's required... Good place; will stay again.
