Wish the parking was wider ( but impossible with the land) Wish we had a microwave in our room. The room was very spacious and clean. The guy at the front desk was very polite and easy to talk too.

Friendly check in was very welcoming. Nice sized room. Wish the seating was more comfortable. The single lounge chair felt broken and you sunk in to it. Otherwise it was a good, quiet room for our two night stay.
