Dont stay here there are better choices.
Pros:

Location and nice concept.

Cons:

Air condition fan would wake you up every time it turned on and it was so loud you couldn’t sleep with it on continuously. The restaurant should be on Kitchen nightmares with Gordon Ramsey.

Pros:

Nice property but for the amount of the rooms I was expecting it to be cleaner. There were bodily fluids on the walls in the bathroom. I was force to find a local Walgreens to gather cleaning supplies.
