The property is right next to McDonald's and 711. The 7 runs right in front of the property so if you need to get around town, there's the bus. The staff is always so kind to me and housekeeping is on point with their tasks. I love it here

Worse day to Stay.
Faucet was broken and bathtub was leaking from the side. I request another room and they give me next-door when I get into the room. It was clean but this the air tractor and the light of the restroom it wasn’t working so I have to call them again to fix it at the moment, they did it and it’s OK. Unfortunately, in the middle of the night the resident from the side, they were too loud. I called him again to the office. Obviously they were gonna say it was me not them. So I decided to leave early and leave the key at the office.

I arrived on February 14th to find a hostile and unsafe environment, including illegal loitering and activity in the parking lot. Because the property was uninhabitable and safety was compromised, I vacated the premises immediately. I did not stay in the room after checking in and no service was provided. I am requesting a full refund.

Adriana
