Good stay
Everything was nice and clean. Only thing we had complaints about was the train that passed seem like 1,000 times throughout the night. So if you have babies. This location probably wouldn’t the ideal. But everything else was good.

Property is too close to the train/traintrack
The train noise is/was unbearable. I heard the noise, the property shook every time the train came, the train just kept coming all times of the day and the night....i did feel the property was clean and i could access downtown and other activities we wanted to partake in.
