I stayed a week at the property and it was a great experience. Staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was convenient and good for going off to work early in the morning. Convenient location to dining and where I needed to go. Also, the laundry area was well worth it too. I would definitely stay again

Vanessa

Liked: Staff & service
Based on the reviews and photos I had very high expectations of this location. It definitely did not hold up to them. Walking my family to our room we had to walk through clouds of smoke from others smoking grass. The room itself was clean, it was mainly the outside of the rooms that were an issue for me. The only staff we came into contact with was the front desk and they were very kind and professional.
