It was central to everything which saved money on transportation. A kitchen, living room area, 2 bedrooms, a pull out couch and 2 full bathrooms was very nice for our family. There were a few things that we disliked. One of the toilets was clogged and smelly. The internet was extremely slow and the light outside the door was out. Overall, it isnt a 5 star hotel and it doesnt have an oven (it does have a full size fridge) and it was pretty much everything our family needed.

I think Expedia should not allow this property on their site as they tried for over an hour to change the amount we paid and the room wasn't ready at 4PM check in. It took my husband to tell the poor worker to bring the manager in to give us our contracteed price. The manager never showed and I called corporate who also never called me back. Spend your hard earned money somewhere you can walk outside without feeling your life is in jeopardy and a place that honors a contract.
