All around wonderful but for 1 thing: there was an oil-based air freshener in the room that filled it with, to me, was a sickeningly sweet odor. It triggered my asthma and when I grabbed it to toss it into the hallway overnight, the oil aggravated my eczema. Next step: open the 4 windows to the trees and birds outside. And turned on the fan. But no worries. Staff took care of it. Just surprised this lovely place would use such a thing, because the room was clean. The bed, allergen free and comfy. Good breakfast options, too. Overall a good return for the money.

Checkin was horrilbe. This place is out dated, they need more then just fresh paint on the walls. I have stay here twice now, both times were not up to my standard. When our next family member graduates from boot camp, we'll be staying somewhere else.

Disliked: Amenities
The property is situated in a good area, and the exterior of the building is clean. The room itself is decent, but there is nearby construction, which makes it somewhat noisy. Unfortunately, the bed is uncomfortable; it's hard, squeaks a lot, and you can feel the metal frame. The breakfast is very minimal; we only ate once because the food did not look appealing.
