Great stay

For the price this place was amazing. Hot water, A/C, king size bed, clean linens. I even got a microwave and refrigerator. For the most part the room was quiet except for the birds in the morning but that didn't bother me much. It's not a place for everyone but for the price and a one night rest it was great and I would stay again.
