The room was really spotless. Really comfortable bed and the pillows are nice as well. Comes with microwave and fridge as well. However the shower head pressure was significantly weak. And the plugs for both nightstands didn't work. It would have been nice if there were a complimentary breakfast as well.But overall the room was really good.

You get what you pay for! Great price and location plus very nice staff and newly remodeled. But they don’t apparently have everything ready; 1. No ice machine even though they have ice buckets in the room 2. A closet to hang clothes, but no bar or shelf to allow you to do that. 3. Hit water just warm and weak stream. 4. Zero rooms ready to use at the 3:00 pm check-in time. I can’t explain that. 5. No bkfst at all. Yes, that was in their amenities list, but for that price you should get something.

Amenities are nothing like what was shown on Expedia. The entire complex appears to have been abandon or is the process of being abandoned. I saw several rooms on the property that appeared to have been half-way in construction attached to properties that appeared to have been abandoned. The room gives you cups and an ice container but there are no ice-machines on the property. Rooms were just okay, nothing impressive. Lighting could be better. Television systems had poor reception and couldn’t use chrome cast despite the TV’s own function. Property could stand to be more upfront of its current status of development.
