I thought the property was excellent, especially for the value. It was clear that it was an older property, and that it was remodeled, and for that reason I wouldn't give it a perfect score, but I would give it a near perfect score because it was clean, the staff was outstanding, the amenities were more than sufficient, the bed was comfortable, And overall it was a wonderful experience
