Disliked: Amenities
3 nights never saw cleaning staff, A/C kept cool but very noisy,toilet never stopped running,coffee pot nasty on inside ,place was right on road had to be careful opening door ,place very rundown but keeps you out the rain and off the ground
The place is a bit dated but, very clean! Cool dragon decorations in front of the property. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I'll be returning and telling all my friends about it!
In a great location, easy to find. Great parking, even covered. Super friendly staff. Property is a little dated but extremely clean. You have everything you will need.
