The location was perfect we were about 10-15 minutes away from everything, the only reason I am giving a four instead of a five star is due to the walls are very thin. We heard our neighbor's alarm going off and were able to make out what TV show he/she was watching. Besides this we really enjoyed our stay and would return. Staff was great and bed was comfortable.
