Wasnt the best stay, wasnt the worst. The location is great but the room needed attention. There were socket and light switches with out covers, the light in the kitchen area was confusing to turn on and the tvs didnt have any service and i had to buy my own batteries for the tv remote.

Excellent customer service. The property had amenities that offered comfort and entertainment to just hang out and enjoy a beverage. The room was super cute and clean. The location was idyllic, close to everything in walking distance.
