10/10 Excellent
"The workout room was nice and had dumbbells and cardio equipment. Breakfast has plenty of options: waffles, cereal, eggs, sausage, yogurt, toast, etc. They have coffee available all day. The mattress was on the firm side but comfortable. Everything was clean! My only complaint is that they do not have automatic room cleaning services every day. I think you can schedule extra cleanings; We just didnโ€™t know. The front desk had great customer service."
