10/10 Excellent
"Very clean property and the staff was very friendly, courteous and helpful. I stay here for business and the location is great for me. It's easy to get around this general area by Uber without having to get on one of the notoriously clogged highways. I wish the breakfast had a couple more "American things" in the buffet but, other than that, it's perfect for a business traveler. I will be staying here again. "
