Perfectly reasonable extended-stay hotel.  Each unit is clean and comfortable, with a kitchen and speedy (and free) hardwired 'net access.  They've got basketball courts, a pool, and a continental breakfast (meh) every morning.  They offer a complimentary shuttle to bring you to/from your workplace (within a 5 mile radius of the hotel), and only between 8-9am, and 5-6pm.  

I suggest you rent a car (or have comfy shoes) when you're staying here, as you pretty much have to drive / hike if you want to fill your fridge / belly... unless you genuinely love eating from Pizza Hut every night.  

The hotel claims to have a mini-mart on site, in case you want to buy some munchies for your room.  The "mini-mart" is essentially a closet with some high-fructose corn syrup beverages, ramen noodles and sacks of potato chips.  Oh, I think they had some gum, too.  

The staff was serviceable; mostly younger folks.  Upon arrival I asked about any restaurants that delivered, and the girl behind the desk said, "There's Pizza Hut..."  and I said, "I was kinda hoping for something a little healthier."  And she replied, "Ummmmmmm... [pause... head-tilt] ... I only know pizza."    

Anyway, like I said, the place is clean (and perhaps a little *too* fresh-smelling... they go a little crazy with the automatic air fresheners in the hallways), it's comfy, and they've got the intarwebz and a TV.  I'm happy.
