10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean, comfortable and plenty of room. The staff was so helpful from the money we checked in. We were traveling with our boat that we needed to charge batteries for. I asked at check in where the best place to do this would be. The staff was unsure, but their answer was perfect. “I’m not sure, but I will find out”. They told me they would call my cell phone when they did. But when we pulled up to where we were staying, a young man from the front desk met us there and showed us where to plug our extension cord into. He eve brought his cell phone and charger to check the outlet. Service with a smile and going the extra mile!"
