This is not a perfect hotel, but you definitely get what you pay for! Very decent hotel with wonderful staff, it's legit. I had a suite room that was next to the elevator so there times where it was a little noisy, but for the most part I enjoyed the room; it was clean, it was spacious, comfortable, and it has everything that I needed and more. Free breakfast was very nice too, I really appreciated that. 🙂
