This is a great option for families. I really appreciated the apartment setup. With some upgrades, this can be a really awesome place. It’s very bare bones, but I would be willing to pay a little more for room service, modern bathroom and kitchen

The property was in a great location. The room was not as clean as I’d like. There were ants that took over our belongs. The staff was great with check in. Parking is very limited on the street. The biggest complaint was the ants and the property only refunding my early check in fee.

Worst hotel stay ever, wet carpet near bathroom that was yellow liquid, no a/c/ couldn’t get our room to cool down, had to sleep on top of bedding it was so hot, staff was not helpful, asked for clean towels and were told they didn’t have any clean towels. Decent location, everything else was awful.

The room was clean, would have been nice if the establishment had a dresser, and the cosmetic of the bathroom and tub had huge cracks that the plaster was awful looking, kitchen was equipped with the basic essentials, but could use a spatula. The area was quite and walking distance to the public transportation. But overall I am happy with my stay. And the staff very pleasant.
