I didn't like that they didn't have an elevator, but that's my only complaint! The room I had was nice and clean, the beds were hard, but somehow cozy and welcoming, and the property was well kept and clean!

Good experience for the price, usually when the price is more affordable than others, so is service and quality, but this place was nice and had a very kind staff and I honestly didn’t see or find anything wrong. Thank you for the stay!
