Bed and pillows were comfortable. I couldn't get the clock time to set properly, I didn't need it, but it was annoying. There was no hand soap by the sick in the bathroom, so I used the body soap from the shower. The rest of the experience was pleasant and I'd stay there again. Great value for the price.

I had stayed for a week. This is a great place if you need a long stay and on a budget. The staff was friendly and helpful. They have plenty of things to help with your stay such as, FREE laundry, pool, gym, a checkout wall of various things that maybe you hadn't brought or needed to borrow, a shopping mart, and 24/7 coffee. They were helpful and wanted to accommodate any way they can. The area around is nice as long as you aren't looking for quick walk accessibility like restaurants or sites. They are next to a school and just a block down is the park that has walking paths around a pond, dog parks, and courts. If I were in need of another extended stay, this would probably be my choice in the area.

This hotel is coming back from hurricane damage and they are putting finishing touches on some areas. The setting is quiet, beds and pillows were very comfortable! The pool was heated. The staff was very friendly and accomodating.
