Solid Stay Near Major Routes

helpful staffample parkingrelaxing environmentcramped bathroom
The staff was genuinely helpful. They quickly addressed a minor issue with the room upon arrival. I found ample parking space available at all times . The indoor pool provided a relaxing environment after a long day (i enjoyed the quiet time there).
The bathroom felt a little cramped. The space limitations made it somewhat inconvenient, especially when trying to maneuver.
Dining

Breakfast offered a decent selection of items, including cooked and continental options. I noticed the staff actively maintained the buffet, keeping it well-stocked (there was a person responsible for each area). Drinks, juices and smoothies were also available.
