Staff was nice. The room was OK, but with two queen size beds difficult to navigate at times. The mattresses could use a refresh as well. The location was the best part, three blocks from my family‘s home.

It was all good, as it usually is. although, I wasn't able to get the Jacuzzi tub to work. You may want to have maintenance check it out, (though I may not have been pushing the right buttons) But all else was perfect.

SO DARN LOUD!! The 'not too high' price was not enough to compensate for the stiff, creaky bed, nor the intensely loud vehicle noise out front. TV remote wouldn't work well. Bathroom was clean, however, there was packing tape all over the top of the bathroom window- peculiar.
