We have stayed there at least 5 times in the past 2 years and the staff has always been very friendly and helpful!! It has been the same staff and that has been nice to see the same people. For our needs it has been a great place to stay. Close to what we need. Laundry room is so convenient and the exercise room is small but perfect for me. Will stay there again in a few weeks!

Room was dirty upon checking in. Stains on couch. Hair strains everywhere. They gave us dirty towels with stains and hair strains. The mirror was dirty with finger and palm prints. The dishes on the shelf were wet. Just filthy. I do not recommend staying here.
