"The room was exceptionally clean ,the staff was helpful and welcoming and nice. The breakfast was great. The oatmeal was real, not just the open up package of Quaker and put it in a bowl with hot water. Parking was free. I couldn’t find anything wrong with the place, I was very happy. It was rated three stars,I think when I made the reservation so I wasn’t expecting much ,believe me,I’m a snob. This was way beyond what I was expecting .Above all comfortable sheets, not the plastic ones that you get at the usual three star star hotels, nothing was wrong with this place. I was so pleasantly surprised. If I had to give you one negative maybe a little isolated. It’s in the middle of a Medical Center, the Medical Center closes at five so not much around that’s operating but that’s it."
