"This property is a good budget or business option. The property was newer and up to date. They offered a complimentary full breakfast which was quite good. There is restaurant/room service. The only down side is it is tucked off in an industrial area. We had a car to make our way around but I think it would be hard without one. All of the staff encountered were friendly and helpful. I gave it 5 stars for being a very good value at a budget price."
