Good: Great location, walkable and spacious units. Great for a traveling family. Also comes with a kitchen which was a major plus. Cleaning and maintenance staff did a great job. Not Good: The AC unit was not great and could not keep the unit cool. Especially during the hottest times of the day. Evening/night was fine however It was 116 outside at points in the day so this is very important. Staff did not want to help until we asked numerous times to have it looked at. Wi-Fi also was not great.
