Peaceful and Clean

We stayed here for two nights and it was so comfortable. Parking was easily accessible and free, and the lot was spacious. The room was also very clean when we first arrived. A/C, microwave, and refrigerator works very well!

Turning on the showers smells sewer. No area to place luggage/clothes. Fridge & microwave are unclean and disgusting. Drawer from a tiny “dresser” doesn’t latch & keep on opening. Noisy and lack of insulation from the outside.

I enjoyed my stay a lot , the room was clean area was quiet. And fairly close to attractions we were interested in. The only thing I was kinda sad about was there was no bath tub for my kiddos but even that wasn’t a big deal 10/10
