Very nice property.
Pros:

We had our bathroom remodeled and it was a very convenient location to our house. The staff was amazing and very friendly. The room was very clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The shampoo dispenser was out by the sink and the hand soap was in the shower. Our Keurig was broken. We asked for those three things to be rectified but none of it was changed.
