Great stay, located in the perfect spot. Only concern was our door framw was a little cracked, and the door took a lot of pressure to close. We understand this happens with expansion in the heat, but coming back to the door unlocked and partially opened was a little scary. Upstairs vending area was a bit outdated and didn’t work. Overall a nice stay though!
