"Staff was really nice and helpful. Would definitely stay again because of the desk staff. However never received housekeeping during our 3 day stay. Had to get our own towels each day, trash never removed, ran out of shampoo, and there were ants in our restroom. The location was great easy to get transportation and great Waffle café next door."
