Hôtel fonctionnel et propre.
Pros:

Propre et fonctionnel.

Cons:

Nous avions réservé une chambre pour 4 personnes avec une kitchenette, pensant pouvoir nous préparer à manger et prendre un repas dans la chambre. Mais il n’y a que deux chaises pour s’asseoir à table.

Over the top perfect. Michelle & Marley should be corporate trainers!
Pros:

The entire experience was over the top fantastic. I'd booked through a third party (Booking.com, I beleive) and they screwed everything up royally. Kudo's to Michelle & Marley at the front desk - they straightened it out-painlessly for me! Went above and beyond, grabbed the Bull by the horns and made things right!

Cons:

A longer stay!! Had to return home too soon! No issues with the property, whatsoever!

They need more help at the desk one person for that size hotel isn’t enough to have to run the place
Cons:

The refrigerator in the room had an ice maker that wouldn’t shut off, even though it couldn’t make ice and it just kept banging all night

Pros:

Les équipements et le confort

Cons:

Faire une caution de 50 dollars qui a ce jour n'est toujours pas remboursée. Cela ne se fait pas de partir sans régler la caution

Terrible stay - smelly room and noisy A/C
Pros:

The room had an unpleasant odor with would not dissipate event with the A/C running. That in turn provide an uncleanliness feel - bathroom was also questionable regarding cleanliness. The fridge and A/C were extremely noisy, which allowed for little sleep. The staff were very nice and pleasant. The photos and description do not match what being sold. Sorry. Not worthy the money.
