Comfortable and clean, definitely will return.

My stay was amazing! There was only one hiccup where the shower overflowed into yhe bedroom but other than that it was an amazing stay and I plan to return. I love how clean and cozy it was. The front desk representative was also amazing!

Enjoyable stay for a couple

Staff was excellent. Went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The tv was cracked (presumably by the previous guest) upon our arrival and maintenance beat my partner back to the room to replace it. He also brought us an extra cord to attach our laptop just because we mentioned it would be nice to watch some videos we were interested in. Additionally, our air conditioner wasn’t working properly and that was fixed quickly. Lots of extra towels by request. Overall good stay in an area where there is much to enjoy. Drug store and restaurants within a very short walking distance. Parking garage across the street albeit expensive. Would definitely return for another stay.
