I had problems checking in, the staff were no helpful. I booked 2 nights, Room service woke us up 3 times on the first morning, key card stopped working. No garbage pail in the room. Paid a 500 deposit they said they would return on check out, they did not return it. Mark the man working the front desk said "we've reached out limit on returning deposits for the day, well mail you a check" I will not ever book with this location or company ever again.

The second night we went to bed a mouse came out of my wife's bed sheets and ran to the stove. I took video of it. I will be posting the video on my Google Hotel rating account.

The property was nice and clean. The break first was decent. Price was right. The train goes very close to the property and think it could keep some people awake as it does shake a bit. But it didn’t bother us as we are use to noice and we were vary tired after long days. The parking can get full at nights, but I always found parking even thought it was not right next to the room.

Really good overall The only couple not perfect things were the size of the cooking area. Tiny and missing a few basic items it was not great to cook there. The other one was that you could totally hear everything from the outside. Besides that it was good. Affordable, clean, good location and good breakfast. Also really big and comfy bed.

The "courtyard view" just means you have a view of the parking lot. There's a stove and microwave, which I didn't use, and a decently sized mini fridge. Curtains can block out the daylight. *Plenty* of towels. The bed and pillows are adequate. I didn't use the pool, but saw a few people happy to have a late night dip. The lobby is fine to hang out in.
