The property was nice and the staff were professional and friendly. The elevator was out of order during my stay. That wasn't a nig deal, however, the hot water was not working on my last day. That was an inconvenience, but overall I had a nice stay.

My stay was perfect for me. Although the third floor smelled a bit musty my room was fine once I cut the air on. The elevator was also broken but the customer service over shadowed any downsides. I did not catch her name but she was lovely, the tall woman with short hair and the boastful voice! ❤️
