Great stay. Only complaint is that there were kids running around on the second floor for like 45 minutes one evening. Also there were a couple moments where it felt/sounded like someone was moving large furniture in the room next door, and it was very jarring for 15 minutes on and off.

Overall was a great stay and i would go again. Walls were somewhat dirty but room and bathroom felt clean. There were NO signs of roaches, insects, rodents or pests. Also wifi didn't work too well.
