I checked in late at night, but there was an attendant ready to greet me. I only had enough money for the room which was a great rate by the way and not enough for the deposit. The employee waived the fee and selected my room for me which was extremely nice! He told me no visitors as a stipulation which was fine because I was traveling alone. The room was very clean and spacious. The soaps and shampoo were high quality. The towels were super soft. The bed was large and very comfortable. I slept like a rock. They are doing construction work on the hotel so I even got a complimentary wake up! The hotel was just under a mile away from the Greyhound bus stop which was very convenient. Overall, the experience was exceptional and I highly recommend!
