We had a great stay! The room was in an amazing location and the room was clean and comfy. It has a fully stocked kitchen and a full size refrigerator so we definitely want to go back for a longer stay. The location and parking was a little confusing but the staff was readily available and helpful over the phone with that. It needs a couple updates but we loved our stay and will be back! We felt the beds were comfy and the location was quiet.

The check-in process was smooth, which only required a phone call and sending my ID over to receive the password for my room. Overall, the room was clean and comfy; however, I found the water very unclean, as the color came out to be milky.
