"Great breakfast.The front counter staff was very helpful. There was a young kid with medium a little longer hair and an middle aged gentleman that was tall with medium length hair , that was extremely helpful. The Barbershop on the 2nd floor of the complex is very good.I became friends with them and I visited the grocery store every day and there is a laundry Mat nearby.I had everything I needed , and then I went to Rojins for whiskey and Quattro public bar for company when visited two coffee shops daily. I will come and visit again.I stayed for 3 weeks for a reason. Keep up the good job. I changed rooms three times just to get different views from the building"
