Great room. Comfortable. Within easy walking access to groceries, fuel, and dining places. Responsive staff. Well-appointed room (loved having a decent-sized fridge). Check-in and check-out were a breeze. I'll definitely stay there next time.

The place was cold. One of the 2 vents in the room isn't working and the other one is very noisy (light sleepers will have trouble sleeping). The bathroom's shower curtain was short and the bathroom was wet all the time.

The bathroom is not senior friendly, i.e., having to step over bathtub to take a shower. Also, the bathroom was quite small. I did like the access code to enter vice a card key.
