Great property with bad neighbors.

Beautiful property, staff was great. Unfortunately there was a club or something next door that played loud music until almost midnight so be prepared to change rooms due to the noise if you cant ignore it.

Stay was amazing, stayed for 8 nights, had kitchen with all the needed appliances, ac was good, bathroom was good, room was clean, for those wondering, the TV did have hdmi port for those who want to put something on the big screen. The staff were extremely friendly and nice, all of them who worked there during our stay. Very great time staying there, only complains we’re, found 1 cockroach 1 night, and 1 day fire alarm went off firetruck came, someone said it happens regularly, but don’t know what that was about. Lots of places around to eat, easy parking. 10/10 would come here again

Nice front desk… intrusive housekeepers

Jay was very pleasant at check-in. He made the process a breeze and was very nice and polite. Overall the experience was decent. However, the morning of checkout, housekeeping knocked on my door 3-4 times upon my checkout time. My checkout time wasn’t until 11am. I think the ladies wanted to come in and clean but felt as though they were trying to rush me along. I answered the door shortly after 8:30 for one lady informing her that I wasn’t ready yet and that checkout wasn’t until 11. She was sweet and apologized. An hour or so later someone else was knocking. Then there was another knock…. I found this to be a bit intrusive. I ended up checking out around 10:30am which I had originally planned. Front desk staff were great. Housekeeping staff wasn’t rude, persay, it was just the persistent manner of knocking that was annoying.

Helpful staff, allows pets and clean rooms. They changed the soap from JR Watkins to Dove products which I don’t like. Smoking is allowed right outside the entrance. you have to walk through a cloud of smoke to get inside.

As I checked in the staff member Mr. Henry was checking someone else in. His presentation was of the charts if I didn't want to stay there but by listening to how well he presented to the customer in front of me. I felt more than welcome and was like "yeah I am staying here". Mr. Henry was Awesome. Then when I checked out the black gentlemen (sorry didn't get his name) at desk that night, he was very helpful when checking out. These two staff members were great.
