Friendly staff, easy to find room, easy to park, reasonable price in comparison to others in the area What I didn't like was like red stains in the bathtub and on the rug by the sink. It almost resembles blood marks. I was kinda grossed out by it, so couldn't shower there . Other than that, everything else was fine.
