This property was good. It was clean. It was close to where I was staying for Work. The only thing was it doesn’t have enough PowerPoint to be able to charge your phone and a watch without unplugging the TV and it took 10 minutes for the hot water to get through to the room that I was staying in which then made me late for work.
