Very nice room with unexpected extras, staff was very welcoming, & personable. Very BIG Plus in my book the room was clean, parking wasn't a problem or hassel @ all & very accessable. Seemed 2 have everything that we needed, or wanted. Very accessable 2 the airport, & I think everything in the room worked & was up 2 par. Again the staff was amazing and so nice.

Appearance wise it seems a bit outdated, however the rooms were clean as well as the parking lot. The ppl staying there that were out and about seemed nice enough. They have a pool, but it was already closed for the season with a pool cover over it. Looked to be a decent size though.

Don't have any problems staying here. They are sweet people who have treated me with nothing but respect. The maintenance man on the other hand should be fired.My room is decent the cleaning ladies are all sweet. I'll be here until I find something better but for now it's home.
