The staff are incredible here. They go above and beyond for your needs there’s such limited parking around the room that I’m sometimes forced to park at the end of the parking lot. Also, you can be prepared to wake up abruptly from anyone outside. They slam their doors and the talking in general is somehow intensifying

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Disliked: Cleanliness
Pillow had stains on it. They replaced right away after the complaint.
Lack of towels in bathroom.
Crawling insects on floor of room.
Its was okay for the price. Seen maybe 5 or 6 bugs coming from walls. The breakfast should not even be called that. Its just dry cereal n milk or juice.
