Great property for the price. The room was clean, updated and spacious. The TVs are a little small, but really no big deal. The bathroom needed a little TLC, beginnings of mold around the shower and the curtain was a bit dirty.

We found a bed bug in our room and did not stay here. They said we would get refunded but I had already paid through Travelocity so we got screwed. Don’t stay here.
