RICHARD

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Rooms are a little small, but cute and well maintained. Had everything one could want (microwave, refrigerator, coffee-maker, ironing board, etc) inside. Bed was unusually comfortable for the price range. HVAC unit does not have a real constant fan feature and walls are very thin. Outside parking, assigned, by one's own door very convenient. If you want a tub rather than a shower, be sure to check the room description.
