We just needed a room for one night. Property was well maintained. We didn’t get to enjoy the facilities because we got in super late . Room was clean and smelled nice . My only complaint is maybe get better curtains that block the light. I appreciated the VERY lit balcony/hallways and I understand it’s about safety but it lit up our room a bit and was a little hard to sleep with light in the room . Other than that we had a pleasant nice stay.

Room was nice and clean,but I was given room 120. It was in the back of the hotel where a lot of construction was going on and construction workers outside drinking and load. I’ve stayed there a few times this month,this was the first time this happened.

The price was great, everything else about the property (except the staff) was average. The rooms were clean and most were upgraded but were still kind of lacking. The water pressure in the shower was definitely not strong. Because of the price there was a very wide range of people staying and not all were savory. Definitely more middle age individuals hanging at the bar so not ideal for younger adults. The staff were all amazing and extremely helpful.
