Everything was what we needed. I couldn't rate the staff, because we had no interaction with staff, except through texting. This time of year, at least, there is no one on-site, and I was worried about check-in and room codes, etc. But it turned out to be okay, and we were happy.

I had a great experience at this place in the past. However, this time we had bed bugs in our room unfortunately. But they did make it right by giving me a refund and offered another room so they are good people but I’m just rating this pretty low for my last experience here
