My second time staying here- it did not disappoint. I would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

I really liked the location of my room- very quiet and having a balcony was worth the price upgrade. The bed was very comfortable. Parking was easy and the staff easy and nice to deal with.

Cons:

Only one weird complaint- the screen door my room’s balcony was stuck closed and I could only get out to the deck by forcing it off its track. I felt like it was going to break apart so I only opened it as far as needed so I could get in/out.

Pros:

Always love staying there home.I'm away from home

Cons:

That they put me in a room with mold in the bathroom.Somewhere and Told me that they didn't have any other rooms.But when they had to move me , then they found one.. I don't like the fact that staff lied to me but housekeeping was great.Making suck really bad. They try to cover up the mode smell with a spray which was not okay , unacceptable.
