Overall the stay was appropriate for the price. Bed wasn’t the most comfortable, walls are pretty thin and heard a lot of noise at night. Had to wear sandals in the room as our feet were turning black walking barefoot.

The only thing I didn’t like about the property that they don’t have elevators or the luggage cart where you can pull your luggage up we stayed on the second floor. My husband has sciatic nerve problems, so that was the only negative part about it but other than that, we love to stay the AC Amenities everything.
