The room was clean and spacious and the best was wonderful with 2 fussy babies. Only thing I had an issue with is they don't state on here that you have to do a $100 deposit. We had no choice but to use the only 100 we had left for food so we could sleep warm that night. They didn't refund it til the next day, so I had to scrounge what I had to make sure 2 kids ate

It wasnt clean, the toilet clogged twice, breakfast was frozen, not enough variety. The fridge broke, was trying to get ice to put in my cooler to keep my milk cold, but they refuse and said we couldnt get ice for our cooler. Our milk spoiled over night and had to buy new milk.
