My stay was amazing!!! Everyone very friendly!!! The property was very clean and well maintained!!! My room was clean and comfortable!!

Gives an eerie vibe and cheaply remodeled, floor seems soft in the hallway and there is a sign outside of the gym that reads “use at your own risk”. Outlets won’t hold charger, chemical smell when walking into the room can’t tell if that’s good or bad, and walls are thin. Other than that no actual problems.

The stay was peaceful! Everything went well except, housekeeping did not change the bedding. They made the beds up but did not change the sheets. The staff maintained their professionalism.
