Cons:

The front desk person was kinda rude. We had no towels in our room and when we asked for some they didn’t have washcloths till morning. The room smelled like smoke and someone came to our room at midnight because they had the wrong room. Not a good experience

Pros:

I like the fact it was a private room and private bath. A separate area for kitchen. Really liked this set up, but there are reasons that will make me think again about staying here. The overall setup and check in went well. When I checked in the front desk clerk was really nice.

Cons:

We stayed 2 nights. The first night was fine when we checked in but the 2nd night was a whoaaaaa moment. WE HAD BUGS!! It was the those flying fruit bugs. I was saddened by the fact it was so many in the kitchen area, the bathroom, and the bedroom the last (2nd) night we stayed. I did complain to a young clerk upon checkout, and she admitted they have a problem there at the location I stayed. GREAT location for area food, & shops, but OMMG they really need to get some exterminators badly.

Pros:

The staff was nice.

Cons:

Our door wouldn't lock, so we requested a new room because anyone can get in without a key. We couldn't get another room until the next day.
