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.
