The room was extremely noisy, and didn't even have any basic amenities (no hair dryer, no kleenex, no glasses or cups, no coffee maker, no table or chairs to sit on). It's a brand new building, but I don't think they are ready to be open!!!!

Room was just as pictured. Owner is super nice and is on the premises. Highly recommend this place I was concerned at first as there weren’t many reviews but come to find out the Owner just opened the place in September. Parking is a little tight is the only downside
