Traveled with my teenage son and the space was just right. The location was great, just a short walk down to all the fun. Room was clean and had all the essentials; mini fridge, microwave, air conditioner, shower, tv with tons of streaming. Definitely recommend!

The room looked exactly like it was pictured. We were sent our unit number and key code before we arrived. So when we arrived, we just went in. We had one problem with our key code after we had used it. We sent a text message and it was fixed immediately. Will definitely be going back!

Our stay went very well overall, and everything listed in the description was present upon arrival. The location is convenient and the hotel is pleasantly quiet, which we greatly appreciated. However, the room could have been cleaner — there was still toilet paper in the bowl when we arrived, which suggests a lack of attention to detail during housekeeping. Additionally, several features in the room are outdated and in need of maintenance, such as the main window blind, which was broken and let in too much light. For these reasons, I unfortunately cannot give a 5-star rating — or even 4 stars — despite the good aspects of our stay.

It was a good stay. Did not like the $35 nonrefundable charge, which is unreasonable by my standard. Stayed in hundreds of hotels throughout the world never seen this type of unreasonable charge before. Many hotels placed "accidental/damages/theft holds" on the customers' credit cards but usually refunded them after their stay.

The mattress was comfy. Mosquitos inside. Broken shade i had to put a papertowel in it to block anyone from looking in. Shower was cracked and not clean. Pacman machine joystick didnt work. I was given the wrong code to get in and i tried calling but went unanswered. Didnt respond until i text the number. Probably wont stay here again for the $100 they charged. The photos in the listing are for another room which looks like it has been updated.

Left a partial drink on the counter came back to ants. Room was nicely decorated

This place is a scam. They have you register in advance on some sketchy website, which is a big lengthy process requiring photos of yourself(??!!!) in addition to your expedia account, then they require you to add another 35 dollar fee for damages on the website that Expedia does not mention in the fees. Then no one answers questions or responds to calls. STAY AWAY FROM THIS RENTAL.
