The property , looks scary looking at first glance , but once you go into the room you can tell the staff cleans the room from top to bottom , the smell of cleaning supplies satisfied me so much and put me way at ease.

it doesn’t look admirable on the inside , the halls the floor need a deep cleaning but the rooms were excellent.

The room was big and clean. King bed, chair with ottoman and coffee maker. The Continental breakfast was a perfect way to start the day.

The shower curtain didn't reach the tub so the bathroom floor got pretty wet and slippers. In addition the exhaust fan did not work.

The breakfast and the bed was comfortable.

They charge me Twice for the room and I want my money back for the second time they charged me over charges for room. I was so upset I couldn’t enjoy my time there at all . They told the room was 381.00 and they took out 761.00 out my account. I need my money back fast.
