“This spot strikes me as a genuinely solid choice in a busy area; the rooms are a cut above typical budget options, and that cleanliness makes a difference. I appreciate the on-site market and restaurant, plus the option to request a quieter room away from the freeway, which is a smart move. For what you're paying, it's a smart value.”
