Parked out big van out front, and they reserved us a spot after asking. Nice friendly staff.
Located next to a huge Mall, and not far from bus stops to town.
Rooms are.adequate, not huge.
Breakfast ok, just a bit samey if staying for a few days.

Nice hotel
Nice hotel but it is far from the central. Front desk was nice and friendly, not everyone. They upgraded our room with a fridge which stock up every day free of charge. .Linens we smelled like sweat so the room also had that smell. There is mall next to the hotel so eating is not a problem
