Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was top notch. Room was clean and a good value for 5 of us, but there were drawbacks that would probably keep us from staging again. Beds were hard, squeaky, and pillows needed updating. Blackout curtains would be a vast improvement. Overall it was fine, but the details kept it from being awesome.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was not as pictured. The bed was against the wall and the person on the inside had to crawl down to get out of bed. The shower was not private and it was tiny so you could not lather up and there was nowhere to change clothes. There was no seating. The futon creaked very loudly with every movement and woke everyone up. There was no table near the microwave. Towels were old. Pillows were flat. Parking was difficult to find. We forfeited our second nights stay and left early. Very sad place to stay...
