"Enjoyed my stay had a few issues with the room itself. Fridge made a continuous knocking sound all night long, the a/c was sounded like it was on its last leg and loudly all night long, the door in the bathroom to the toilet and shower was broken at the bottom and we kept getting stuck in the bathroom. Room was very clean, and super comfortable beds. The other areas did seem well up-kept though. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking and area felt safe and secure. All in all worth what I paid. Oh and the breakfast incredible!!"
