The room is very clean. The people were extremely nice. The only thing that I didn’t care for was the floor plan and I don’t think that they can avoid it but between the bed and the wall wall wall and what’s up against the wall, there’s not much walk room it was fine for me, but I am a slender woman my son who is a little bit bigger had a little bit difficulty.

Staff was good. Toilet in room would not flush entirely and the front desk did give me a plunger to plunge the toilet. After a few minutes of trying to get toilet to flush properly, I went back to front desk and they did relocate my wife and me to another room

The great ratings were not accurate in my opinion. Place was really run down and we were the only car in the large parking lot at 6:00 pm on a Friday night . We checked out and went elsewhere. Lost $131 bucks but was worth it.
