We were pleasantly surprised with our stay, given the affordability. The check-in was a tad concerning when the clerk seemed to have trouble finding our reservation but eventually it was located. The room was nicer than expected. Cool, clean, comfortable, and smelled nice. Our trip was cut short due to a family emergency back home and they were very sympathetic. We were grateful and would return without question.

All was good, the only negative is there was too much pubic hair in the shower from the previous people. When they clean the shower they got to make sure they rinse those down. But everything else was really nice and clean and quiet. Thanks!
