Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a very nice, pleasant, convenient, easy stay. The rooms were clean, air conditioned, and had plenty of space for a solo traveler like myself. We actually had had water, which was also nice compared to some places I’ve been. The staff were fantastic, and I especially appreciate their help with a few things I needed help with. Overall, great stay. Would happily recommend.
