Hotel was easy to find and surprisingly very nice. The room was good and clean. The only downside was that the walls felt to thin and I could hear everything, and the people staying above us made so much noise it sounded like they were rearranging the room nightly. Other than that it was great and would consider rebooking again.

Great space inside room (king room) that comes with kitchen. Nice to have if need the extra room or do in room cooking. Outside building looks average (deceiving), lobby looks like a work in progress. (Filled with boxes). I believe it was mentioned the room is sound proof, but i can hear next neighbor tv. The bed at first felt soft but eventually you will sink in over night and wake up with back pain, which is a deal breaker for us to return. We do like the option of nearby stores and food options.

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.
