The staff placed birthday banners in my room for my sister-in-law's celebration. They accommodated my early arrival by storing my bags before check-in. I kept my bags there after check-out to go shopping. The beds were comfortable.
The shower cleanliness was not the best.

The location proved excellent. Staff put me in the first room. This saved me from carrying my bike up any stairs. I appreciated the various choices for an evening meal nearby. The free parking was a definite advantage (especially since I had my bike rack).
The price was a bit high, considering other options in the area.
