Good value. The interior is well cared for. Newer paint and floor covering. Seemed like there might be long-term tenants in the building. Smoking areas outside. 'Seems like a higher percentage of smokers than usual in this area. That has nothing to do with this review, just an observation i had. Had no problems. Clean room. Great TV package. I think they run a tight ship here. I would stay again.
