Overall, a nice place, good staff, good breakfast , fairly priced. Needs a little maintenance. Obvious damage to wall around air conditioner from a leak. Bathroom tile grout is very dirty, time to re-grout or something. The microwave carousel had the wrong plate inside so it wouldn’t spin.

We liked that they had 3 beds for a decent price and what seemed like great amenities. The spa we were looking forward to didn’t work, the breakfast was mediocre and the room itself seemed like it needed upgrading. The carpet kept coming up and it didn’t the fireplace didn’t work and the tv didn’t work. We also didn’t feel too safe in the area. We wouldn’t stay there again.
