It took a bit to get sorted out but the Staff stuck with me to ensure I was happy. They aren’t a fancy place but the rooms are updated and comfortable (and im very picky) overall a great affordable option that is comfortable and secure. The theme is “girly” which I like and it’s so cute from the outside. I work while I travel and it was a good spacious quiet workspace Con: birds dwell in the walls and ceiling of the other building which was both noisy and a health hazard. Pro: they found a way to move me where I felt much more safe and there were no birds
