Renter be aware of this place. It's not what it is on pictures. 1. When we arrive there was water all over the floor. My daughter-in-law slipped and fell. Turns out to be the refrigerator was unplugged and it was leaking. No one seemed to care about the situation so I threw towels on the floor and waited till the next day. 2. I requested to clean the room. No one came and I had to purchase toilet paper at Walgreens down the street because no one seemed to care as well. 3. The lights went out in the building and again I called them 93 number and I was told that it was because FEMA blew out in the entire block. Come to notice or come to find out the next day that it was the generator that blew & so we were out of light service or AC for a day and a half. ITS NOT WORTH IT!

The staff doesn’t clean in between guest. We wanted to extend our trip a day but wasn’t able to add on to the reservation so did a separate reservation. In total we stayed there 2 nights. After the first night we had to check out because the reservation was only for one night, and had to check into the other room reservation that same day, well we ended up getting the same room, and we though we would come back to a clean room (since two different reservations) well when we came to check back in it’s wasn’t clean. We also learned that the doors didn’t lock, this whole time we thought we were locking it. On top of that the power goes out so we don’t have water or electricity. We ended up checking out that morning so not sure if it got fixed but was overall not a great experience

I liked the environment that it felt safe, secure & private. The first day the place we found to have breakfast was a far walk & expensive, however, we soon realized that the supermarket one block away was cheap & sweet. I liked that we didn't have to worry about keys and sharing keys since all the locks were digital. I didn't like that there was not a direct person to talk to with any questions. For example, one day there was confusion when I asked for the room to be cleaned, but due to misunderstanding I returned expecting the room to be cleaned, but it wasn't. However, except for this one hiccup it was smooth sailing and I understand it helps to keep costs down.
