We stayed here for almost 2 months, family of 3, and were very comfortable. The staff took good care of whatever we needed, but honestly we didn't need much that wasnt already provided. The customer service was great. Shania at the front desk was awesome. She made sure our stay was comfortable and took a personal interest whenever we came to the front desk. She was there when we needed towels, and sheets, and even when my son wanted to print out a coloring page. I have added this hotel to my list of preferred hotels in the area and will be referring visitors here for a guilty stay at a reasonable price. As of our stay, the laundry machines are complementary but be sure to have your own soap.

I enjoyed my stay. A fridge, microwave, snack shop downstairs with frozen food was all i needed for my stay. I appreciate the dish soap and paper towels also. This place made me feel at home. The clerk at the desk was very warm as well.
