Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Although the property was indeed modern, the room lacked any drawers and very limited closet space. Noise from our neighbour was rather disturbing as 3:00 am music easily heard as exuberant activity was seemingly enjoyed by the lady next door for an extended period. Other competitors in the region have parking included along with buffet breakfast and yet not at this property. We would likely not return again to this property.
